I am such a lucky man! I get to make my living writing and illustrating books for young people. Welcome to my website where you can read about my books, discover what I was like as a kid, and even try your hand at some of my puzzles.

“After having two new picture books published in 2023, I am thrilled to have two more books coming out in 2024. Both are illustrated by my talented and good friend Mike Wouhnoutka.
In May, Go and Get with Rex was published; in September, Mr. Fox’s Game of No! will be released. For those of you who know how much I love playing games, you won’t be surprised that both books involve games that challenge the reader to play along.
And don’t forget my other recent books: 100 Mighty Dragons All Named Broccoli, See the Ghost: Three Stories About Things You Cannot See, and How to Apologize.”
