That right there is the cover for the upcoming picture book by Jacob Kramer and K-Fai Steele called Noodlephant. It’s about a noodle-loving elephant. It’s about a magic pasta machine. It’s about a community’s response to injustice. It’s 80 pages long. All that is to say it’s unlike any picture book I’ve read in a […]
Jess Keating has a new series starting up in 2019 called The Elements of Genius. Today I can share the cover for the first book, Nikki Tesla and the Ferret-Proof Death Ray. But before we get gawking, I had to ask Jess a few questions . . . Travis: What was the spark (that was […]

If you had x-ray vision, you’d know that I have a soft spot in my heart for early readers. You know what I’m talking about: When I learned that Mac Barnett and Greg Pizzoli were teaming up for a new early reader series about a mischievous rabbit called Hi Jack! I was happy to hear […]
