    I absolutely love it when someone brings a whole new take on something we all know so very well.  That is definitely today’s picture book.

    Wendelin Van Draanen is the acclaimed author of more than thirty novels. Her novels for teens include Flipped, The Running Dream, winner of the Schneider Family Book Award; Wild Bird; Confessions of a Serial Kisser; and Runaway. Her books for younger readers include the eighteen-book Sammy Keyes mystery series, winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award; The Secret Life of Lincoln Jones, winner of the Josette Frank Award; and Swear to Howdy. Van Draanen lives in California with her husband.  You can learn more at her website or follow her on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

    GRAVITY IS BRINGING ME DOWN is the story of Leda who is having a very bad day because gravity keeps picking on her.  We never see gravity as a character in the book.  Instead we learn all about Leda who loves space, planets, and museums.  So when she’s clumsy, she naturally blames gravity.  What a brilliant idea!  This book is both funny and cleverly informative.  And the illustrations by Corneila Li are gorgeous!  I can so relate to little Leda and I’m betting lots of young readers can too.

    Welcome Wendelin!
