Surprise! Announcing 1000 HORSES FOR THE KING


I wrote a story called 1000 Horses for the King, and the fantastic Gracey Zhang is making the art. I’m pinching myself.

. . . the story came to me in a dream (feel free to roll your eyes now). After I woke up, I tried to write the story and drew a couple little pictures:

As you can see, we are all very lucky that Gracey Zhang will be making the pictures for this story. I can’t wait for you to read it.
Thank you Gracey Zhang, Stephen Barbara, Tamar Brazis, and Viking Books.
And thank YOU for all the support.
