Photo of Deborah L. Diesen You have arrived at the web site of Debbie Diesen.  I am the author of The Pout-Pout Fish, a rhyming children's picture book illustrated by the talented Dan Hanna and published by Farrar Straus Giroux.  I also have a forthcoming children's book called The Barefooted, Bad-Tempered Baby Brigade, which will be published by Tricycle Press in 2009 or 2010 or so.

Here at my site, there's an area just for kids (and the young at heart) where you can play word games and download a fish-themed fortune-teller (a.k.a. a "cootie catcher").  Other areas of my site have book info and free Pout-Pout activity sheet downloads for home, bookstore, and library use.  You can also find my bio and my appearances schedule.

Plus there are assorted odds & ends, including fun with puns, photos of trees (and more trees), a prizeless contest, some mug shots, and more!

You can also read some of my thoughts on being a literary localvore.  The writers and illustrators of Michigan constitute one of its great natural resources.  To help you get to know them, over on my blog, every Monday I run a profile of a Michigan children's book author or illustrator.

Thank you for stopping by my site!
