This is my first ever bathroom selfie. I'm quite pleased with it. Because #TheWorldNeedsMorePurplePeople is coming out soon!!! And with everything closed, I crafted my own tee shirt before I recorded the audio book this morning from my house. @hartben and I wrote #TheWorldNeedsMorePurplePeople, illustrated by @d_wiseman, as a guide for kids to become #PurplePeople. As @hartben said, "this book is our way to spark some human connection back into the world." I am so very proud of this book, thank you @hartben,@d_wiseman and @randomhouse 💜 #ImAPurplePerson

Here's proof that I can, in fact, read and write! My genius buddy @hartben and I were looking around and seeing how the cultural conversation skewed heavily toward the things that divide us; the ways in which we are different. And that seemed like an incomplete narrative as there are so many more things that actually bring us together. And, so, The World Needs More Purple People was born! (And I'm very proud of it :)) It's available for pre-order now! See link in bio 💜 #PurplePeopleWorld
