About the Author:
Baker Andrews prepared for a career painting tiny boogers by earning a law degree from the University of Missouri then going on to earning a Master s of Business Taxation from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. After a ten-year career as a corporate consultant, he took a sabbatical to work for the Special School District of St. Louis County, where he learned where boogers actually go (and that a kindergartener will only hand you something to open after they ve tried using their teeth). When I worked with kids, I saw a lot of...interesting habits as far as booger disposal goes. I figured I could help parents, teachers, and society at large if I wrote a book that could help get boogers in their right place, says Andrews about the creation of the book. Andrews worked with children directly in his prior role with St. Louis Special School District before shifting professional gears and jumping into the children s authorship pool, which replaces literal boogers with literary ones. After writing this book, he took his business background and formed Black Swan Publishing, LLC, because he was too impatient to wait for someone else to publish his books. In his spare time, he enjoys improv acting at HUGE Theater in Minneapolis, attempting to grow the world s largest sunflower, and explaining to people that Sydney isn't the capital of Australia. He lives in South St. Louis City with a dog, two cats, and five chickens (all to be the subject of forthcoming books).
Review:
A Letter from the Doctor This book is funny, but proper booger management is no laughing matter. As a pediatrician in practice for almost forty years, I have seen rst-hand all of the terrible things children do with their boogers. Many of those things are recounted here in this very funny, rhyming, illustrated book for young children. Almost every state has a common core elementary curriculum that includes nose blowing and proper hygiene. The education of early childhood boys and girls regarding something as simple as the proper handling of nasal discharge is important. Not only does it serve as a factor in maintaining a child s own good health, but it also serves as a means to reduce the spread of respiratory illness in others. I am proud to say that I was the author s pediatrician, and in that role, I got in on the ground oor of his booger management. That e ort has paid o with the publication of this work. Now heed the wisdom contained in this book and make Where a Booger Goes part of your child s core curriculum at home and at school. --Harold B. Sitrin, M.D.
