Very excited to learn that “Your Pal Fred” has won a 2025 SCBA award! So great to know that people are really connecting with Fred! Thank you, @scasl.bsky.social

Some thoughts on a new picture book. What if you didn’t know you were a monster?

Got a nice review from Kirkus for Fred 3…

My next book, out July 22. Had a lot of fun with this one. It takes a simple sentence structure and uses it throughout. (The camper camps in the camp. The gardener gardens in the garden.) Wherever books are sold!

I went to a doctor’s appointment today. The waiting room had a table! This made me unreasonably happy!

Good vibes. Two weeks ago I mentioned that I wanted to learn to make Summer Rolls to a co-volunteer at a local foodbank. She’s mid 70s, born in Vietnam. Today she brought me all the ingredients, sauces, and a sample roll! (Last pic, my work.) One of the kindest gestures I’ve ever experienced. ❤️🥲

It’s really nice to have my boys home from college… but I’ve totally forgotten how to cook, like, real dinners.

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

One of the things I’m going to try to write in 2025 is a very, very political/sci-fi/allegorical graphic novel, but make is super cute and kid-friendly.

There’s nothing like a day of writing that produces nothing. Seems like the biggest waste of time and energy.

So if you had a rock band, and there were 8 people in your rock band, you have to call your rock band Roctopus.

Can you imagine having all the money in the world and choosing to hang out with HIM?

A recent drawing for a pitch…

Flying into Blue Sky! Thanks @k8cosgrove.bsky.social
