[Update: the winners are Maki and Jennifer! Congrats!]<\/p>\n

Today is the day!! GOOD NIGHT, NINJAS<\/a><\/strong> is all about shinobi-style bedtime (shinobi is another word for ninja)! This marks my 12th book, which boggles my mind.<\/p>\n

To be quite frank, I\u2019m a little hazy about the details of working on this book. There was a lot of fun, to be sure. Excitement about commemorating Little Kunoichi\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> 10-year anniversary, without a doubt.<\/p>\n

As always, I included a lot of Easter eggs and references to Japanese culture in the illustrations. Things like traditional Japanese snacks, nods to classic folk tales, Buddhist monk\u2019s typical travel garb, etc. I love how the book turned out and I hope you will too!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A book launch wouldn\u2019t be complete without a giveaway, right? 2 lucky winners will get not only a signed copy of GOOD NIGHT, NINJAS, but a copy of LITTLE KUNOICHI, THE NINJA GIRL – the story that launched my book-making way of life.<\/p>\n

To enter the giveaway, please leave a comment of any sort. If you\u2019re stumped for a comment idea, how about sharing a memorable dream? When I\u2019m overwhelmed, I often dream that I\u2019ve forgotten to attend a college class and it\u2019s finals week. I feel enormous relief to wake from that dream and realize that it didn\u2019t actually happen. Good dreams usually involve a big meadow and lush gardens.<\/p>\n

The giveaway will close Friday, August 15th<\/strong> and I\u2019ll announce the winner that evening! International entries are always welcome and good luck, good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
