What if the world’s most beloved children’s author was quietly teaching millions of kids to question everything? Behind the Hat isn’t a takedown. It’s a deep dive. Into the life, legacy, and low-key rebellion of Dr. Seuss — a man who went from drawing war propaganda to writing bedtime stories about revolution, empathy, and resistance. From Horton to Yertle, Sneetches to the Cat, this book explores the hidden messages, strange contradictions, and unexpected fire hiding in the stripes. If you grew up on Seuss, this might rewire how you see him. If you didn’t — buckle in.

Step into the sunshine of childhood as I share Summer Memories: Water Balloons, Pool Days, and the Fun Times of Being a Kid, a celebration of laughter, friendship, and the moments that shaped me. Through storytelling and reflection, I invite listeners into the world I grew up in. From wild balloon battles and joyful front yard games to quiet poolside lessons and family encouragement, each chapter is a tribute to the magic of being a kid. With humor and honesty, these stories shine a light on the lessons I learned in the sprinkler spray and the warmth I felt in backyard adventures.
