ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Once, when Pam Stucky was quite young, she went to the library looking
for books on magic. The librarian directed her to a different kind of
books than those she was used to. She was used to books with pictures,
or at the very least with a drawing at the beginning of each chapter.
(She was very, very young.) These books about magic had a lot of
words, and were written in a very small font, compared to what she was
used to. She was skeptical.Nonetheless, she took the books home and started reading. Until, with
disgust, she realized these books weren’t about *magic*; they were
about magic *tricks*. She had wanted to do real magic. Disillusioned,
she returned the books to the library.Then one day, she realized it is books themselves that are magic.
In books, everything is possible.
Pam is a native of the Seattle area and writes in multiple genres,
including mysteries, middle grade/young adult sci-fi adventure,
travelogues, and more. Find out more about Pam at www.pamstucky.com.

Manny and Silas sit down with Native American comedian Danny LittleJohn to talk about the Karate Kid, cultural appropriation, and Danny’s story of growing up learning about his native heritage.
Also, Black & A Half is making a short film this summer. We need your help to make it possible. Check out www.BlackAndAHalf.com/fundraiser to see how you can help. Every $5 makes a difference.
Danny Littlejohn is a US Air Force Veteran born in Wisconsin and raised in Minnesota, so his internal conflict runs deep.
Danny began writing and performing stand-up at Seattle’s Comedy Underground. Early on he won a stand-up comedy radio competition but most recently can be heard doing voices while reading bed time stories.
Danny has the ability to meld his Native American culture and his American-American culture, which gives him a unique outlook on the world and humanity. His comedy brings humor to history’s painful moments and insight to the absurdity of modern life.
Danny is based out of Seattle where he spends most of his time driving his two kids around. He can be seen writing at his kitchen table and performing in venues all over the northwest, midwest and west-west.
