Preliminary painting from WHAT'S SO SCARY?

I'm happy to hear from the museum that they have obtained this preliminary painting (above) from "What's So Scary?" (Orchard/​Scholastic, 2001) for their collection.

Mazza Museum


Some time ago, I gave a few talks at The Mazza Museum's Summer Institute at the University of Findlay. For anyone who doesn't know about this gem of a museum, give them a visit by clicking on Mazza Museum under Quick Links, at right.
They have a phenomenal collection of children's book art and run excellent programs with a wide range of speakers that really are very informative and entertaining.
They have a piece of artwork from my "Three Cheers for Hippo" sketches and all of the finished artwork for "Take Me Out to the Ball Game, a Pop-up Book".

CLIF


The Children's Literacy Foundation (CLIF) is an excellent organization providing a wide range of literacy programs across New Hampshire and Vermont. Access their website via the Quick Links on the right side of this page.

Book Group


For many years now, I've been meeting regularly with some colleagues and good friends to look over and discuss our work. This group now includes Eileen Christelow and Tracy Campbell Pearson (as well as "emeritus" members, Wendy Watson and Suse MacDonald).
I highly recommend their work. Check out their websites.
