Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious and uplifting collection of essays about one pale woman's journey from Midwestern naïf to Hollywood semi-celebrity to outrageously reasonable New Yorker.

There comes a time in every sitcom actress's life when she is faced with the prospect of writing a book. When Ellie Kemper's number was up, she was ready. Contagiously cheerful, predictably wholesome, and mostly inspiring except for one essay about her husband's feet, My Squirrel Days is a funny, free-wheeling tour of Ellie's life-from growing up in suburban St. Louis with a vivid imagination and a crush on David Letterman to moving to Los Angeles and accidentally falling on Doris Kearns Goodwin.

But those are not the only famous names dropped in this synopsis. Ellie will also share stories of inadvertently insulting Ricky Gervais at the Emmy Awards, telling Tina Fey that she has "great hair-really strong and thick," and offering a maxi pad to Steve Carell. She will take you back to her childhood as a nature lover determined to commune with squirrels, to her college career as a benchwarming field hockey player with no assigned position, and to her young professional days writing radio commercials for McDonald's but never getting paid. Ellie will guide you along her journey through adulthood, from unorganized bride to impatient wife to anxious mother who-as recently observed by a sassy hairstylist-"dresses like a mom." Well, sassy hairstylist, Ellie Kemper is a mom. And she has been dressing like it since she was four.

Ellie has written for GQ, Esquire, The New York Times, McSweeney's, and The Onion. Her voice is the perfect antidote to the chaos of modern life. In short, she will tell you nothing you need to know about making it in show business, and everything you need to know about discreetly changing a diaper at a Cibo Express.

Ellie Kemper

Comedian and actress Ellie Kemper plays the title character in Tina Fey's massively successful Netflix sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Her first major role on TV was as Erin Hannon in the US version of The Office. Kemper also played supporting roles in Bridesmaids (2011) and 21 Jump Street (2012), among other films.

In 2013, NBC commissioned Tina Fey and 30 Rock showrunner Robert Carlock to write a show for Kemper, resulting in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which was sold to Netflix. The first season gained a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 95% and received widespread acclaim, with TV Guide naming the show the 'best new comedy of 2015'. The show has earned Kemper nominations for an Emmy in both 2016 and 2017 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
