Books on Film: Jeff Kinney on Today
Diary of a Wimpy Kid author/illustrator Jeff Kinney was on the Today Show this week to talk about the newest installment of his bestselling series, Fight or Flight. This time around, the topic is bullying, and Kinney explains the combination of care and humor he tried to fine tune when making a book on this subject, as well as the growing popular culture footprint of the series.
And don’t miss the surprise cameo from a children’s lit legend at the 4:35 mark!
