Drew Daywalt

Let's welcome back to the stage the much loved and New York Times best-selling author Drew Daywalt! Drew is the author of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors. His new graphic novel No Sam! and the Meow of Deception continues the hilarious adventures of Sam the pug as he protects his family from suburban evil.

Hello again, naked-monkey-thing.

It’s me, Sam—human being, chief security officer of the Peterson family, and defender of all that is good and righteous.

Let me catch you up: Meow, my beloved sidekick, can talk now (100 percent because of the language lessons I gave him), and a mad bomber is after him. Also, Justin made a new friend, Dean, who he hangs out with all the time. I’m trying to be supportive, but there is something I don’t trust about the guy.

Let’s just say I have good instincts about these things . .

It’s impossible not to crack up while reading No Sam! and the Meow of Deception. Join us and discover the pleasure of a great story told by a great storyteller.

About the AuthorDrew Daywalt is an award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling children’s author whose books include The Day the Crayons Quit, The Day the Crayons Came Home, and The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors. Drew loves to play Rock Paper Scissors, but most of the time he can’t decide fast enough which one to pick and ends up making some bizarre shape with his hand that looks like a weird octopus with a hat. He’ll claim Weird Octopus with Hat beats everything, but don’t let him pull that nonsense on you.
