"Recalling stories from different points in her life, from her childhood to moving to Los Angeles, her charm and warmth are on full display. Be prepared to fall even more in love with Kemper." -- PopSugar "Actress Kemper's memoir in essays gives fans a taste of what it was like growing up Ellie ... Kemper solidifies her upbeat and humble persona with her first book." -- Booklist "Uproarious ... Kemper proves that good comedy starts with good writing ... an entertaining celebrity memoir." -- Kirkus "Engaging and refreshing ... She is an entertaining writer, and her tales ... will give readers an enticing glimpse of her happy-go-lucky attitude. This is a fun, breezy, and enjoyable volume." -- Publishers Weekly, "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 "This is a thoroughly charming book." --Dave Eggers, "[Kemper] shares a series of charming personal essays that chronicle both her professional and personal life, from being a child to having one. Rather than write a tell-all, Kemper gently lifts the veil on specific elements of her life, revealing "tidbits from [her] past" and "morsels of the present."" -- Boston Globe "[Kemper] is famously nice, polite and upbeat ... The book is a collection of more than two dozen short essays, assembled more or less chronologically, about certain incidents in her life. Taken collectively, they reveal her personality, history and character without becoming bogged down in specifics." -- St. Louis Dispatch "A humorous memoir." -- USA Today "Kemper is a joy to follow ... She's always poking fun at herself, but bravely open enough to let us all in on the joke." -- TheAVClub.com " The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star delivers a series of essays on topics ranging from growing up in St. Louis obsessed with squirrels to becoming a mother and learning how to discreetly change diapers." -- TIME.com " Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Ellie Kemper releases her first book, an essay collection called My Squirrel Days . If you're wondering about the title, it stems from the special connection she shared with the bushy-tailed creatures in her youth." -- Bustle.com "Recalling stories from different points in her life, from her childhood to moving to Los Angeles, her charm and warmth are on full display.

Synopsis
Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 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)., Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays "teeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud moments" (Associated Press).
