I had the most interesting substitute teacher fill in for me yesterday. I'm sure painting with him was a JOY. #halloween #artteacher

Here's the first of two videos I created for an educator to share with students and parents, answering the question: "Why Graphic Novels?" This relates to some parents' worries that GNs are not "real books." Spoiler: they are, and they made me a great reader!

Elementary Art Class Project: Contour shoe drawings! Without raising their pen (mostly), students drew their own shoes on paper. This is elementary school, so, thankfully we were free of odiferous model offerings.

I'm so proud that my publisher, Random House Graphic, has the motto, "A Graphic Novel on Every Bookshelf." I can't believe that States and the Federal Government need to be reminded: Kids need a LIBRARIAN in every school. #supportlibrarians #fundschoollibraries #graphicnovels

"Won't You Be My Neighbor": This movie so expertly displayed the kindness of Mr. Rogers, but also the importance of that being nice, being honest, and caring about others, is not a weakness, but a strength. Amazingly relevant to the times we live in. https://t.co/U1TDcY0PY3...
