Zachariah OHora on PBS

I caught a glimpse of the new PBS Kids show Carl the Collector, and I instantly knew the children’s book author/illustrator behind it: Zacharia OHora.

His signature illustration style is unmistakeable. It turns out that OHora’s series will be the first on PBS Kids to feature a main character on the autism spectrum.

There’s even an online game called Carl’s Collections to go along with the series.
