COMING ATTRACTIONS

Look for new books written by Robin Cruise, coming in the years ahead. Publication dates to be announced!

BARTLEBY SPEAKS
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
A picture book illustrated by Kevin Hawkes

Young Bartleby Huddle is persistently silent amid the hubbub of his boisterous family. But when Bartleby does at last speak, what he has to say is ... profound. (A coincidence that Bartleby, like my spirited and creative son Henry, doesn't speak until he's good and ready? I suspect not!)

TOTALLY FIONA
Harcourt Children's Books

The third (and final!) installment of Fiona's tween journals. Fiona Claire Jardin is absolutely positive her life will make a lot more sense when she celebrates her next birthday. After all, she's turning thirteen on June 1--and teenagers know pretty much everything there is to know!

NOT YET READY FOR
PRIME TIME
Works-in-progress also include two picture books, one about twins and the other about brothers, both inspired by relationships within my own family.
Above: Great brothers--and terrific sons--Andrew and Henry Bayer. Right: My twin John and me, at about age three.
