Jacob Berkowitz: Hello. My name is Jacob Berkowitz. When I was a kid growing up in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, thought I might be the only Jacob Berkowitz in the entire world. I didn't know any other kids named Jacob and as for Berkowitz, other than my family members, the only other Berkowitz I'd ever heard of was an infamous murderer. When I wrote my first book, Jurassic Poop, I found out that I'm not alone. After seeing my name on a book cover, two other Jacob Berkowitzes contacted me. Now with the internet, I found a dozen more. One is even a dogsled racer. I like knowing that there are other Jacob Berkowitzes doing other jobs. It makes me feel that as a Jacob Berkowitz, I can to anything.
