The Daily Beast has published a claim from another conservative author that I "stole" Johnny the Walrus from her. I'll address this once. It's not even close to true and it's sad that she's decided to run to a left wing rag to hit a fellow conservative.

My wife suggested to me that I write a children's book about a year ago. We came up with the Johnny the Walrus concept together months before this other book came out. I have plenty of documentation that can prove that. I signed a contract with DW last spring
The book took a while to come out because DW hadn't launched its publishing imprint yet. In the meantime, her book was released. I wasn't upset. I'm glad there are other conservative books on the market addressing this topic. Is there only supposed to be one? Really?
The left has dozens of children's books pushing gender ideology and I don't think those authors are getting jealous and accusing each other of plagiarism. That this happens on the right only shows again why we tend to lose. Not much in the way of teamwork.
The books are very different anyway. Her book, which had not been announced when I wrote mine, is a beautifully illustrated parable. Mine is a deadly serious joke. We approach the issue more directly. She takes a gentler tone. I don't think either approach is wrong.
So to review: 1) The claim is demonstrably false. 2) If you have an issue with me, please come to me directly instead of the left wing press. 3) The books are not the same. 4) There can and should be more than one anti-gender ideology children's book in existence.
In conclusion, you can buy my beloved and bestselling LGBT children's book Johnny the Walrus here: JohnnyTheWalrus.com
