Today is St. Patrick’s Day! It’s the day that many Americans celebrate their Irish heritage. I have a new relationship with St. Patrick’s Day since I wrote Magic Tree House #43, Leprechauns in Late Winter and my sister Natalie wrote the non-fiction companion, Leprechauns and Irish Folklore.

Today I met with a great group of Magic Tree House readers. They had all gathered at the Berkshire Theater Festival in Stockbridge, MA to see “Passport to Adventure”, our traveling Jack and Annie event. Kids and their parents saw Jack and Annie perform onstage, then the audience joined in to help sing a song called Read, Read, Read, written by Randy Courts.

We’re having such a wonderful time in St. Louis! We visited the St. Louis County Library and were greeted by many, many Magic Tree House readers and fans.
