My Squirrel Days: Tales from the Star of Unbreakable Kimmy

My Squirrel Days: Tales from the Star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and The Office

Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays â€œteeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud momentsâ€ (Associated Press).

â€œA pleasure. Ellie Kemper is the kind of stable, intelligent, funny, healthy woman that usually only exists in yogurt commercials. But sheâ€™s real and sheâ€™s all ours!â€ â€”Tina Fey

â€œEllie is a hilarious and talented writer, although weâ€™ll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote.â€â€”Mindy Kaling

Meet Ellie, the best-intentioned redhead next door. Youâ€™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 dadâ€™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 â€œsports monsterâ€ who ends up warming the bench of her Division 1 field hockey team in college.

Youâ€™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. Youâ€™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 youâ€™ve ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes of your favorite shows, what it really takes to be a soul cycle â€œwarrior,â€ 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 â€œgreat hairâ€”really strong and thick,â€ this is your chance to find out. But itâ€™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 â€œdives fully into each roleâ€”as actor, comedian, writer, and also wife and new momâ€”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 themâ€ (Vogue.com).
