We have a title!

No longer is the "Pick-a-Munsch" contest-winning book being referred to simply as "Story #2". The book now has a title: Give Me Back My Dad!

Illustrator Michael Martchenko is busy working on a cover and as soon as it's ready, we'll share it with you. In the meantime, watch this space for updates on the making of the book, Robert's plans for his trip to Labrador, and lots of other fun stuff.

Happy Family Literacy Day!

Congratulations to Rigolet, Labrador! See you in May!

Thanks to all the kids who voted to help us choose our new book. We got more than 170,000 votes – WOW!

Now WE have to get to work to make the book YOU chose. Keep checking this space for pictures, sketches, videos and more. We’ll show you what happens behind the scenes at Scholastic. And we’ll introduce you to everyone who helps us create the book, from the kid who inspired the story to the people who actually do the printing. We’ll be announcing the actual title of the book soon (Story #2 isn’t very catchy).

There is still lots more to come, so stay tuned.
