Well-known author visits patients, families

November 26, 2019

On November 23, writer, actor, director and comedian B.J. Novak brought countless smiles to patients and families at Texas Children’s when he treated them to a special reading of his critically-acclaimed, bestselling children’s book, “The Book With No Pictures.” Following the reading, Novak spent time helping patients with their own “My Book With No Pictures,” a new activity book that lets kids fill in the blanks with their own made-up words. After his time in The Zone, the author shared the fun with patients in their rooms.

Novak is well known for his work on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning comedy series The Office as an actor, writer, director, and executive producer. He is also acclaimed for his standup comedy, his performances in motion pictures, and his New York Times bestselling book of short stories, “One More Thing.” At once perfectly simple and ingeniously imaginative, “The Book With No Pictures” inspires laughter every time it is opened, creating a warm and joyous experience to share – and introducing young children to the powerful idea that the written word can be an unending source of mischief and delight.
