For the last 11 years @willie.garson has lived across the street from my family. He was a kind, persnickety, snarky presence that we will miss dearly. It was always a great treat when he would wander into our front yard picnics and spend 30 minutes gossiping and talking about how to make the world a better place.

All our love for Nathan and his extended family. We will miss you. @willie.garson @nathen_garson

Feel feel free to stop by your local bookstore or purchase the book online from Barnes & Noble or Amazon. I can't wait for this book to get into all of your hands. #haveyouseengordon #childrensbooks @ohtruth @simonkids

I was thrilled to get my first copy of Have You Seen Gordon? which will be arriving in stores this September. This is called a Folded and Gathered because it is not fully bound yet. It does, however, give an amazing preview of what the book will look like. The art by @ohtruth comes to life so much more on the page. Thank you @kendra.levin and the entire @simonandschuster and @randomhousekids teams for bringing this to life.
