According to one of the poems in Matt Eicheldinger’s new book Holes in My Underwear, “you have always been you”—now come see what you look like as Matt draws your portrait in his inimitable cartoon style!  While you’re there take a peek at this thought-tickling book, because it’s packed with over 100 poems (from an ode to a burrito to a haiku about papercuts) and doodle art by the bestselling author of the Matt Sprouts series and other books.  (All ages)

About the Author

Matt Eicheldinger, a New York Times bestselling author, wasn’t always a writer. He spent most of his childhood playing soccer, reading comics, and trying his best to stay out of trouble. Matt lives in Bloomington with his wife and two children and tries to create new adventures with them whenever possible. When he’s not writing, you can find him telling students stories in the classroom or trail running along the Minnesota River Bottoms.
