FUN LIES AGAIN
The Ambassador's Unauthorized Sequel That No One Asked For
"Imagine a world where the Earth is in its death throes, and scientists build a library ark to rescue the great works of literature from the impending destruction. Their resources are limited, and they have space for only 100 books from Earth's entire history.
Ninety-seven of those spots should be reserved for FUN Lies Again. LET SHAKESPEARE BURN.” —Abraham Lincoln

FUN LIES
The Ambassador's Leaky Bucket of Stories That are Completely Half True
This book is a big old bucket of satire, shenanigans, and tomfoolery. The author embellishes personal narratives, makes ridiculous lists of nonsense, and presents fictional news in the style of The Onion or The Daily Show.
Some of you, like my wife, will never laugh at the stupidity in this book. Look for Easter eggs, and don’t take anything at face value, including the footnotes—for they may be fun lies, too.

Forever Sisters
Illustrated by Emily Threadgill
Family is who you choose to love.
Inspired by the author's adoption story, Forever Sisters is a picture book for foster, adoptive, and blended families. It follows the characters of Peggy and Lucy, two sisters born to different parents. The book contrasts the differences and similarities between the two girls through easy-to-understand language and warm illustrations.
They look different, and are still family.
We want every child to know they have value and worth regardless of background or appearance.
