Whose First Book Is Being Released April 10th?

April 9, 2012 by still a dreamer

It’s Ame Dyckman! Boy + Bot is Ame’s first picture book, published by Alfred A. Knopf and illustrated by well known children’s book illustrator, Dan Yaccarino! It’s being released Tuesday, April 10th, and Ame has been beyond busy getting ready for the launch. She and her husband just finished creating her first book trailer – and it’s appearing on the Watch. Connect. Read blog, along with Ame and Dan Yaccarino interviewing one another, or you can view the trailer alone below.

When I asked Ame why it wasn’t on her own web site or blog, she told me she had been inundated with over 200 tweets in the last 24 hours and was just trying to keep up!  She has already appeared on a couple other blogs and will be on another tomorrow, plus she is in the process of setting up a Facebook page for herself AND another for Boy + Bot. Wow. Go, Ame!! (So … is this what we aspiring-to-be-published authors and illustrators have to look forward to? I’m exhausted already!)

As for Boy + Bot, it’s bound to be a hit with very young readers, and is a story of friendship between a boy and his red robot, the discovery of how they’re alike and how they’re different, and can they make their  friendship work when it hits a snag? You’ll have to buy the book and find out, but in the meantime, you can check out the trailer right here.

Congratulations, Ame!

    WOW, Jeanne! Thank you so much! You and everybody have been so kind about spreading the word for BOY + BOT! (It is a WONDERFUL inundation! Just be sure to call before dropping by–the house is a MESS!) 😉

      You are so welcome! Hey, it’s your first book – this is HUGE! But I’ll be pretty excited about your next one, too. Ame, I am so proud of you! (Apparently, the current status of your housekeeping, not so much, but who cares? This is your moment – enjoy it and housecleaning be damned. LOL)
