"Is it dead?” a kid asks… I’ve heard this question many times from kids on field trips to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History where it was my task to answer them. Today, this book, illustrated by
@mattschu.bsky.social
and published by Little Bee, hopes to honor their question honestly. 🐋

Delighted to reveal the cover for my 4/22 release, THE TONTINE CAPER, illustrated by
@mattschu.bsky.social
! It's a comedy mystery for MG readers set in a crummy inn on a mountain in the Poconos in 1900. Shenanigans ensue when $150k is at stake for the last surviving member of a tontine.

I’m finally able to share my cover art for an upcoming picture book I illustrated, “Star and the Maestro” by Thor Hanson! Published by @greenwillowbooks, who I’m very glad to work with again. It’s about Mozart’s pet starling and it’s ability to sing his music. It’s out in September!
