This book, I tell ya. Not only was it incredibly fun to illustrate, I still think about these characters A LOT (and I already turned in the art weeks ago).

It’s wild that I’ve never seen a book before about how “cute” wild animals often have to do un-cute things to survive. SEALS ARE JERKS by @jaredchapman boasts a delightfully feisty MC, snarky penguins and this AMAZING two page spread. #kidlit #PB #AndyReads 📚👍🏼

I'm so glad they enjoyed the book! Is this one of the coolest 2nd grade classes on earth? Answer the question! Yeah, fess up!
Read my second graders “Seals Are Jerks” by @jaredchapman today. I bought 8 books at our @Scholastic book fair and I’m surprising them with a new one each day till I run out. They LOVED it! So did I.

I stand by what I said: they're experts in the time-honored craft of seal and penguin drawing.
