So many of the stories in the books are based on real feelings and experiences from my childhood, viewed through the lens of humor. I’m so excited to be working on the sixth book in the series, and that the books have been translated into French, German, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Russian, Hebrew, Greek, Turkish, and Korean. Whenever I visit a school or library, I always encourage students to write and draw their experiences and share their stories. So often, we feel alone in our feelings only to discover that someone else is having the same experience we are.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
