One of my formative moments as an artist was this quiet moment in #ChronoTrigger . Sometimes, all I do is chase this feeling in my work. Thank you, #AkiraToriyama . May the angels lead you in.

Thank you, Carissa Mulloy! She sent me a hat she knit from the yarn by @cesiumyarn that was designed based on the cover of #EVERYTHINGSADISUNTRUE .

I don't know if I'm cool enough to pull this one off, but by golly, I'm gonna try.

I've been living a poor to extremely poor teapot lifestyle for too long.

We threw a big party with Goldberry Books and the spread...the spread, y'all. Bacon-wrapped dates, raspberry cream puffs, nutella rice pudding parfaits...plus a reading from a secret book, plus great conversation, plus wonderful company...what a night. (stole all these photos)

The ensorcelling cover of DRAWN OWNWARD is revealed! A fantasy picture book re: a grieving boy who’s lost hope and braves the dark forest in search of his mom—told entirely in palindromes. Art by the wizard Matt Rockefeller is an absolute wonder. Can’t wait to share it 10/8!

'The first time I walked into Dinah’s corner office..I noticed two things: there were piles of manuscripts everywhere, and her paperweight was a Caldecott Medal.'

THE MANY ASSASSINATIONS OF SAMIR THE SELLER OF DREAMS Wins the Newbery Honor!

I've always thought of Samir as an honorable friend, able to spin nothing but dreams & air into such magic as this--a merchant's crown, as he'd put it. Thank you, librarians, for making it so. #alamya

My friend Stephen Crotts did me the honor of drawing Samir and Monkey and their heroic steed, Rostam, carrying off their merchant's crown.
