Irene Smalls: Hello. My name is Irene Smalls, author of Irene and the Big Flying Nickel and Don't Say Ain't. My name is Irene because the year I was born Irene Goodnight was the popular song and all my life everyone always sang, "Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene. Goodnight, Irene."

And so, I am Irene. Have a great day.
