HALL OF FAME

I love when kids and teens are excited to meet me. But I love meeting authors too, like Anthony Doerr, Lois Lowry, Jason Reynolds, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Khaled Hosseini, Colson Whitehead, Victoria Jamieson, Nathan Hill, and Ethan Canin. And a few famous writers were real friends: Sue Grafton, Tom Wolfe, Richard Peck.

Scroll to see Kenan Thompson, Michael Che, Cecily Strong, Taran Killam, Beck Bennett, and John Mulaney. (Rob worked for SNL!) Our daughters met Judy Blume, Owen Wilson, and Daniel Radcliffe—back when he was Harry Potter. Who else is here? Donald Glover, Caroline Rhea, Cynthia Nixon, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Morgan Freeman, Alec Baldwin, Mike Bloomberg, Ruth Franklin, Elizabeth Winthrop, Chris Grabenstein, Darin Strauss, Suzannah Meadows, Dave Barry, Elizabeth Strout, Paul Zelinsky, Mike Curato, Delia Ephron, Ed Vere, J. Courtney Sullivan, Bob Hope (!), and Denver Butson—with his daughter Maybelle.

Question 1: When I was on Oprah, why didn’t I snap a selfie??

Question 2: Who’s that in the lower corner? D of DMC!

Way before Facebook, I kept scrapbooks. I've always loved photos and I'm sharing some with you. I love when fans send me photos from all over the world!
