Trip to Austin and Book Trailer

I went to Austin, TX last week to visit my friend Jess and to finish our new children's book. The new book will be out May 5 and is called The Ungrumblies! The 4 days I was in Austin were over real quick and we only even made it out of the house a couple times. The one fun trip we did was out to Lake Travis where it was a little cold for swimming but perfect weather for throwing rocks. The highlight of the trip was getting to meet Captain and Bones, Jess and Ray's dogs! They are real nice and always hungry.

The new book is an alphabet book about food allergies inspired by Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies. It is an experiment in total collaboration, we both wrote and illustrated the book, traded off sketches, colored each other's drawings and will be binding the books when Jess and Ray come to visit next weekend. We are having a release party at Mellow Pages Library on the 5th from 2 to 5.

We also made a book trailer for the book, watch it here, tell your friends!
