An Interview with the Writers of The Dam Keeper

Hi, Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi! Congratulations on your BIG announcement in Entertainment Weekly yesterday. I can already visualize how excited my students are going to be when I tell them about The Dam Keeper books. What would you like me to share with them?

For the first time in Pig's life, he will see the deadly black cloud suddenly retreat far away from his dam, revealing a vast landscape dotted with hints of other civilizations where it had been believed no life could be sustained.  His whole world opens up, literally and figuratively, and this event will change his life and Fox's in ways they never could have imagined. They will be embarking upon an urgent mission with a new friend -- or enemy -- that could help them uncover the mysteries of the dark fog and why Pig became the solitary dam keeper.

Please share five words that describe how you both feel about The Dam Keeper books. 

Excited

Fortunate

Inspired

Humbled

Responsible

Please finish these sentence starters: 
 
Graphic novels are capable of emotionally delivering memorable moments like the best of your favorite novels and films.

 
Reading is what brings imagination to life within the comfort of our minds.

Thank you, Robert and Dice! 

Look for The Dam Keeper books in 2016. In the meantime, watch the film.
