Daniel Pinkwater, one of the finest authors in the world, is here at
@danielpinkwater. He'd probably love to be welcomed...
@neilhimself @danielpinkwater my mom knew my little brother could read, but she knew he could *comprehend* the day she heard his riotous little laugh from the other room, peaked around the corner, and witnessed him laughing maniacally at Fat Men From Space. She asked him to read it to her, and they both ended up laughing until they cried. Thank you for the laughter and joy!
@jocelyntanis @neilhimself I laugh maniacally too.
@danielpinkwater @neilhimself my mother is beside herself happy that you saw that little story! My parents wanted us to be readers, and they tried to expose us to a variety of books and styles from a very young age. My brother instantly clicked with your humour and we still feel your influence today.
