🚨BEWARE🚨
In a few weeks this grouchy groundhog infiltrates bookstores!

This book, written by @lydialukidis.bsky.social illustrated by me, is a fun adventure, filled w/hilarious puns and big feelings. It’s perfect for emerging readers looking for silly characters to make them laugh.

Me: Come on, we’ve gotta go
Lucy: But I just made a snow man!
Me: He’s cute but let’s roll
Lucy: Can you help me lift him? I’ll bring him with us.
Me: *lifts snowman onto sled*
Snowman: *immediately falls over*
Lucy: That’s ok Load his body parts on the sled, I’ll put him together when we get there

Lucy: What are we doing today?
Me: Get the chickens.

I thought I was making a hat for an adult human. I was shocked to discover that I was actually creating a tiny bowl.

Then shocked again when Lucy turned it into something way better.

Found the most amazing nonsensical pitchers at goodwill. Had to get them.

Now what do I do with them?!

Don’t you dare say throw them away. They are majestic.
