Your message of magic, not spoken down to kids but bringing it simply and positively to them, is phenomenal medicine in this uncertain world.

And I’m happy you included the ex-kids, too. So often we forget that the magic of our creativity still resides within us, ready to raise its hand in enthusiasm if we call on it.

“Baggage claim desk people find it funny that your bag has ended up in Canada, you are not in Canada, and you are on tour for a book called Fail-a-Bration.” 😂😂😂😂😂 I mean, it’s hard not to see the humor in this.

What a beautiful poem. Magic is meant to be shared. My copy arrives today, and I’m so excited!

It's true. In the moment, though, I did not find the humor. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the kind words and support of the book. Carly, your voice is such a gift to this world. Grateful.

My Fail-A-Bration book arrived a few days ago - hoping to have a local Fail-A-Bration in the UK with friends at some point!

Thanks for doing all the hard work so I can come in and be like, "So I heard you peed your pants... I've got a book for you" haha

I mean a pee pants party is really a type of fail-a-bration, so I'm definitely recommending your book through all my shenanigans ;)

Anyway, I LOVE everything about your book and your tour. And I love how you infuse everything you do -- your books, your events, your social media -- with joy and playfulness.

We have a few wonderful bookstores in downtown Grand Junction CO if you happen to be in the area in the future. I recently shared with one of those bookstores about "The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination" and how our imaginative 3 year old grandaughter exclaimed she is a "Water Figment" during a pool day this summer. Looking forward to Fail-A-Bration and adding it to her book collection.

I love the Fail-a-Bration book! I also love the Don't Hide Your Magic poem! Will you get more of the enamel pins in? I noticed they are sold out. Our school-wide theme is Learning is Magic this year and I would love the pin and a copy of the poem!

This glorious poem is channeling Bob Ross and Fred Rogers and Dr. Seuss combined and I am HERE FOR IT!!!
