Last week, I was at St. Felicitas School in San Marino for a fun morning talking about Humphrey. Humphrey showed up Sunday on the Kids&#8217; Page of the L.A. Times in a terrific  review by a [...]]]></description>

But continuing with my recent book tour &#8230;. After leaving San Francisco, I headed to Minneapolis where I visited Creek Valley Elementary in Edina and [...]]]></description>

I wouldn&#8217;t go that far &#8230; but last Wednesday, I did have to ask someone on the plane what day of the week it was! I got off to an easy start [...]]]></description>

It was a messy, confusing (though absolutely fascinating) trial that was supposed to last 9 days and went on for over 3 weeks.
