A special Happy 4th of July to my Uncle Henry who celebrated his 110th birthday yesterday. A World War II veteran from Federal Hill who epitomizes everything that is good in this world. God bless America and God bless this man. 

One of the most surreal parts of this journey have been getting tagged by people all over the world sharing my story with me in their language. Thank you Bianca from Brazil for connecting the dots and making my day! @peterhreynolds @rightspeople @Scholastic @HollyMMcGhee

Of all the ways I’ve seen When Things Aren’t Going Right, Go Left celebrated during graduation season…this is, by far, my favorite. Keep moving forward young man! @peterhreynolds @Scholastic @LovethePippins @HollyMMcGhee

I still have to pinch myself knowing that Peter illustrated my books. I’m a very lucky guy!.

Thank you FableVision for masterfully bringing my story to life!.

During this time of New Year’s resolutions, rather than looking in the mirror for things we should change, let’s, instead, reflect on the things we like about ourselves. Be kind to yourself…you’re doing great. 

Thank you Scholastic for believing in the type of stories that I want to share with the world!.

Thank you to the students and staff at Matunuck Elementary School for a great day! @peterhreynolds @HollyMMcGhee @LovethePippins @Scholastic
