Thanks to The New York Times for including I'M BORED in its list of Notable Children's Books Of 2012!

I'm about to head out to find a copy of the print version in Toronto in a few minutes, but wanted a post a thank you to editor/publisher Justin Chanda and Simon & Schuster Children's in my blog first.
