About the Author
Hi! My name is Jonathan and I'm an author of children's books.Some of my books are silly, some of them are sweet, some of them are a mix of both... and many of them have to do with food (I'm making myself hungry right now thinking about it) . I grew up LOVING books of all kinds (I still do) and I'm so so happy I can spend my life writing stories that kids of all ages can enjoy.One of the best parts of reading is finding books that we can enjoy over and over again. I found many through the years, and I'm still discovering new ones. I hope one (or ALL) of my books end up being special for you... or none, if they aren't quite your style...the most important part is finding something YOU love. So happy searching and happy reading!WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU AREN'T WRITING? I'm glad you asked!- I read- I play with Hugo (my french bulldog) - I find ways to cheer people up- I draw silly things- I explore new places- I swing dance- I watch old movies- I eat donuts (Yes, please) - I make movies- I take pictures- I go on forest adventures- I go on bookstore adventures- I play video games (Anyone want to challenge me? ) - I read ALL THE BOOKS (Uh, of course.) WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I live in the wilds of Pennsylvania, but I will be be traveling for events and readings, so if you see me please wave or come say hello!Thanks for stopping by and have a spectacular book-filled day!
