Bottom of the Fourth!

We’re halfway through the fourth inning. I want to know which illustration on my site (or in my books) speaks to you. Share with me (or become a Fan on Facebook) and get ready for Baseball season and my upcoming picture book: Baseball From A to Z. You might end up taking a Templar [...]

Inning #1: Batter up, Zombie at the plate.

Sure it might be winter outside, and It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies, but it won’t be long until spring is here.
