THANK YOU.. #10ThousandKids
Thank you to everyone who purchased my book yesterday! I really appreciate it. We had the most people visit the blog since I’ve started it & I’m glad to finally get just one step closer to getting my book in your hands. I’m sure you all will enjoy it & I hope to bring you many more.
I just wanted to give you all some of my plans for the next few months. All of you who pre-ordered can expect your books on or around April 13th. I hope that throughout the summer I can team up with a few Saints players and hopefully we can donate some books to kids & schools across the Gulf Coast. You’ll see me on the news, in the papers, in magazines, on blogs & on websites talking to anyone who will listen about my book for the rest of this year. When the Saints season kicks off I’m going to give out “The Who Dat, Who Didn’t Award” after each game to the player who contributes the most to the team without scoring a touchdown. So it’s kind of like the person on the team WHO DID help out but WHO DIDN’T score a touchdown. We’ll see if WWL will pick that one up…
So that’s all I got. Just wanted to check in with you guys again and to let you all know I really appreciate all the support… Thanks!!
If you know a school, classroom, teacher or organization who would be interested in my book please email me at whodatwhodidnt.gmail.com or call me at 404 942 7989.

Kids are tired of Dick and Jane… #10ThousandKids
Thanks for coming to my blog…. While at work today I realized that although I know what I want to do with my book, what it means to me & why I wrote it, I haven’t told any of you yet… So here goes….One day as I was putting away Christmas decorations at my mom’s house, the phrase “Who Dat, Who Didn’t” came into my mind. I thought about it for a second and put it in the back of my mind because it felt kind of special. A few minutes later the words “The Little WHO DAT, who didn’t” popped into my head and I instantly recognized it as a title for a book for kids about the Saints. From there I began writing and in about 2 weeks the book was done! This all happened February 2010 as the Saints made their way to the Superbowl. Although I knew the book was a good idea and could be successful, I sat on it and sat on it until about September of 2010. After hearing too many times from my friends, family and girlfriend at the time that I should put the book out, I finally got up and began to work… and now here we are…
Now while this book is a cute little book for kids to enjoy, it’s also not all fun and games for me. I wrote this book with kids and learning in mind. The book isn’t overly simple but it does contain the bright, elaborate illustrations you would expect from a young child’s picture book. I wanted to write a book that kids would like to read, a book that people would look back and remember that this is the book that made them want to read!! So I’ve started an initiative called #10ThousandKids. This initiative is very simple, I hope to have at least 10,000 kids read my book and I’m going to encourage adults and parents to use this book to TEACH their kids how to read. I figure kids have gotten tired of Dick & Jane running across the yard, so I wrote them something a little bit more interesting.
So with your help we can reach this goal. I know tons of kids and people with kids and I plan to meet many more kids as I go to schools, libraries, book stores, & summer camps this year. I wanted to give kids something that they want to read, and I hope that is what I have done….. So instead of “Dick & Jane” and “See Spot Run”, I propose this:
If the kids don’t like it now, they’ll love it in September. See you at the end of March.
