Debbie Dadey, Children's Author - Debbie Talks to Kids

Tuesday March 22, 2016

Hi Karen, I'm honored that you chose me as your favorite author. Did you know that tomorrow is Bailey School Kids Day? Maybe you could celebrate with some friends. I used to be a librarian and before that I was a teacher. I love your idea about a comic book Bailey School Kids. That would be so cool! I hope you'll visit my writing page for some advice on writing. Good luck with your writing! Best, Debbie

Hi Umaiza, I did not write the Goosebump books. That was R.L. Stein. My birthday is May 18th and my next book will come out the day before. It is called Twist and Shout.
Netra, I have gotten ideas for The Mermaid Tales books from lots of places, even from things that have happened to me. For instance, the idea for The Secret Sea Horse came from the fact that I am not the best speller and that I always wanted a horse. Did you know in second grade I failed a spelling test? In The Secret Sea Horse, Echo is a terrible speller and she wants a sea horse very badly.
Lillian, so great to hear from you again. I hope you have an awesome week! Did you know that Wednesday is Bailey School Kids Day? Many blessings, Debbie

Hi Umaiza, thanks for your great idea! I like sea horses and dolphins too. There are so many interesting creatures that live in the ocean. It is fun to find out about them.
     Lillian, I'm so glad you enjoy the Mermaid Tales. Do you have a favorite part of Treasure in Trident City? I like when Rocky dresses up as a pirate.
     Thanks Chloe, I did have a nice St. Patrick's Day. I visited two schools in Virginia. Yes, I just recently saw that in May there will be a new Mermaid Tale big book: the first four books in one!
     Hey Chelsea, great to hear from you. I never thought of seaweed as being like bacon-that made me hungry! Have an awesome, blessed day, Debbie

Hi Chloe, good to hear from you! Hope you have a Happy Leprechauns Don't Play Fetch Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow, Debbie

Hi Jamie, I don't Skype with individual kids, but would be happy to do so with your classroom or book group. Your teacher could contact me. Or you could write me via snail mail with longer questions. The address is Debbie Dadey c/o Simon and Schuster 1230 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020. USA.
Makenzie, I'm so glad you like the Mermaid Tales books. Caroline, the next book in the series is Twist and Shout, which comes out May 17th, the day before my birthday. I will ask my editor about words like fintastik. Does anyone else dislike them or do you like them? Have a fabulous day, Debbie
