Join Us for the Final Installation in This Iconic Series!

Newbery medal winner KATHERINE APPLEGATE is back with the fourth and final installment in the One and Only series, where we follow the beloved Ivan on his most exciting adventure yet — parenthood. KATHERINE APPLEGATE will be in conversation with JOHN SCHU, author of Louder Than Hunger.

In The One and Only Family, Ivan has been living in a wildlife sanctuary, with his friend Ruby next door in the elephant enclosure, frequent visits from his canine friend Bob, and his mate Kinyani by his side. And in the happiest turn of all, Ivan and Kinyani have welcomed a set of twins to their family!

Ivan loves being a papa, even though it can be hard sometimes. But as he navigates the joys and challenges of parenthood, he can’t help but recall his life before the glass walls of the mall circus, his own childhood in the jungle—and his own twin.
