El Deafo honored

I was proud to be the colorist of Cece Bell's "El Deafo" even before it started winning awards. It's a truthful, funny memoir of Cece's childhood, and helps readers understand what it can be like to live with hearing loss.

I'm extra proud that it has been named a Newbery Honor Book (so it will now have a silver medal printed on its covers!). And today I learned that it has been nominated for two o Read more of this blog post »

David liked Gary's review of Oregon Trail: The Road to Destiny: "I found this as an ebook from our local library and was grateful to have read it on an iPad so I could thoroughly enjoy the artwork on a bigger screen than my phone.

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”

“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
