Back-to-the-Future Box of CATALYST

I love when author copies arrive! I call it my Back-to-the-Future box, because for me, the most awesome part of that movie was when George McFly receives that box full of his books. So here's my Back-to-the-Future box full of my new book, CATALYST!!! Coming June 9th!

CATALYST Blurb from Emily Jenkins!

CATALYST Coming Soon!

So, the world is still on fire, but I have a new kids book coming out on June 9. By pure chance, CATALYST is all about learning to accept change, though I never imagined there'd be quite so much change for all of us to accept.

In that spirit of accepting change, and despite everything, I'll be introducing you to CATALYST over the next few weeks, ahead of its 6/9 publication day.  May this giant cat story bring a little joy to kids who need it now more than ever.
