My Squirrel Days by Ellie Kemper
Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and host of The Great American Baking Show Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays "teeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud moments" (Associated Press)."A pleasure. Ellie Kemper is the kind of stable, intelligent, funny, healthy woman that usually only exists in yogurt commercials. But she's real and she's all ours!" --Tina Fey
"Ellie is a hilarious and talented writer, although we'll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote." --Mindy Kaling
Meet Ellie, the best-intentioned redhead next door. You'll laugh right alongside her as she shares tales of her childhood in St. Louis, whether directing and also starring in her family holiday pageant, washing her dad's car with a Brillo pad, failing to become friends with a plump squirrel in her backyard, eating her feelings while watching PG-13 movies, or becoming a "sports monster" who ends up warming the bench of her Division 1 field hockey team in college.
You'll learn how she found her comedic calling in the world of improv, became a wife, mother and New Yorker, and landed the role of a bridesmaid (while simultaneously being a bridesmaid) in Bridesmaids. You'll get to know and love the comic, upbeat, perpetually polite actress playing Erin Hannon on The Office, and the exuberant, pink-pants-wearing star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
If you've ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes of your favorite shows, what it really takes to be a soul cycle "warrior," how to recover if you accidentally fall on Doris Kearns Goodwin or tell Tina Fey on meeting her for the first time that she has "great hair--really strong and thick," this is your chance to find out. But it's also a laugh-out-loud primer on how to keep a positive outlook in a world gone mad and how not to give up on your dreams. Ellie "dives fully into each role--as actor, comedian, writer, and also wife and new mom--with an electric dedication, by which one learns to reframe the picture, and if not exactly become a glass-half-full sort of person, at least become able to appreciate them" (Vogue.com).
Ellie Kemper is the Emmy-nominated star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a Netflix original sitcom. She played Erin Hannon on NBC's The Office, and she also appeared in Bridesmaids, 21 Jump Street, Identity Thief, and Anywhere. Ellie is the voice of Crackle in Disney's Sofia the First and voiced Katie in The Hidden Life of Pets. GQ, Esquire, The New York Times, McSweeney's, and The Onion have all published her work. Ellie currently resides in Manhattan with her husband and son, but she is always looking for a way to return to St. Louis.
