This Saturday I will be in Brooklyn reading and signing books for Indie Bookstore Day @ Books are Magic. Hope you can make it out!

Are you at #TXLA25 ? I’m here celebrating the release of my new book - which is in stores (and libraries) today!

This month I'm hitting the road with Earl and Worm! Hope to see you soon!

This is Worm. Worm likes books. Worm likes quiet. Worm does not like to be interrupted! Worm is one half of EARL AND WORM - my new series for early readers that launches two weeks from today! ✌️👋🪱🦉😎

Today at the studio I am experimenting. Just trying to figure this out.

Words and pictures and ink and paper

A nice shout out to Earl and Worm from the one and only Travis Jonker 🦉🪱

Today I did not go to the studio. I visited an elementary school in the Philly burbs and read to kids aged K-6th grade. This photo was taken by a 2nd grader 🙂

Today at the studio I worked on the art for a new picture book. It’s super loose and I’m excited and terrified 🙃

A little Earl and Worm for you! I answered 5 questions for the Horn Book about my new book series for new readers 🦉🪱

Today at the studio I started the final art for a new picture book. This drawing is one that will be combined with 4 others to make one complete image. 1 down, 199 to go. #kidlitart

Today my “studio” was a recording studio where I had the chance to read TWO audiobooks - Earl and Worm audiobooks will be read by ME!

Today at the studio I am drawing fish

Kay’s hilarious new graphic novel is out today!

Today I am back at the studio, and starting final art for a new picture book that will pub next year. I’m making all the art by hand 🙂 This is a sketch I’ll lightbox for final inks #kidlit

Authors and illustrators - never forget that you have an influence over the future generation. An ode to Baloney by a 3rd grade student in Littleton, CO. @gregpizzoli.bsky.social

Hey @cordellmatthew.bsky.social I saw these owls today and thought of you 🦉✌️

I visited two different elementary schools today and had such a blast. Reading with kids and talking about writing, drawing, and making stuff - it’s the best.

Today I visited @bookpeople.bsky.social in Austin, TX and signed some books. An amazing indie book store! Much, much better than Amazon.

Today is Day 2 of my week of Texas school visits! We drew pictures and read lots of books - including a sneak peek at Earl and Worm 🪱 🦉

This week I am in Texas visiting elementary schools and reading and drawing with kids. Dream job! #kidlit

Amazing news!

I am traveling today so my studio is an airport and my workspace is a sketchbook. Making tiny doodles and coming up with ideas for something new.

Not at the studio today, just spending time with family. We went to the library and saw one of our favorites - No Fits, Nilson! by Zach Ohora. A beautiful, funny book.

Today at the studio I designed this bookmark to give to librarians at the TXLA conference in Dallas. Anyone else from #kidlit world planning to go?

My box of Casey’s Cases arrived from Penguin Random House!!! Can’t believe it’s almost the pub date!

Today at the studio I continued to work on copyedits to Earl and Worm #3 and fiddle with my Zelda Lego set. I can only show one of those atm. 🤓

Drawing by Thor

Today at the studio I am celebrating this starred review from @slj.com of my new early reader! This is the first book in a series and I am so excited for emerging readers to meet EARL & WORM!

Today in the studio I am working through copy edits of the third Earl and Worm book. I turned in the art a few weeks ago and then CE got back to me with notes and questions - mostly regarding consistency. Copy editors have saved me from making many, many mistakes in print! #kidlit

Today at the studio I am working on art for a picture book. I am drawing each color of the book one layer at a time. I will always be a screenprinter at heart. #kidlit
