Eclipse is now available from Scholastic Press!

Listen to my interview about ECLIPSE on NPR’s Lake Effect

A boy and his dad experience a total solar eclipse in this heartwarming picture book by author and illustrator Andy Rash.

Shimmering rays shine around the moon. I try not to blink. We are in the perfect place at the perfect time.

Based on a trip that author-illustrator Andy Rash took with his son to see the eclipse in August 2017, Eclipse is a heartfelt and playfully illustrated ode to seeking out unique adventures and savoring the most special moments with the people you love. Back matter about eclipses and maps of eclipses' paths across the United States make this book perfect for the STEAM curriculum.

It’s a breathtakingly moment-by-moment story about looking forward to, experiencing, and reminiscing about, a singular occasion—and more to come.

Unstinky is now available from Scholastic Press!

Bud is a happy stinkbug, except when it comes to stinking contests! He always seems to lose to champions like P. U. Bottoms, Lord Stinkington, and The Fumigator. Every time they make smells like OUTHOUSE, GYM SOCK, and ARMPIT, poor Bud ends up smelling like FLOWERS, or FRESH-BAKED BREAD, or CANDY CANE. Stinking just isn't Bud's THING. But what IS his thing?
With an ending as fresh as a daisy, and funnier than any funny smell, Andy Rash puts a hilarious spin on a tale of following your nose to happiness.

“Get a good whiff of this olfactorily original celebration of individuality.”

— Kirkus Reviews

“A playful twist on familiar themes of fitting in and finding one’s talents.”

— Publishers Weekly

“This book will delight young audiences and remind them that it's okay to be yourself and find your own thing.”

Agent A is on a mission, eyeing spies with great suspicion.
Which of them is unofficial, lacking words with his initial?
Agent A consults a list to make sure that no spy is missed:
Agent B must be all right, defusing Bombs which were alight,
And Agent C os okay too (the suction Cups – an easy clue).
Through the alphabet he goes, dodging dangers, facing foes.
Will he find the fake in time? He needs your help to solve this crime!
That is all, and best of luck, and now this book will self-destruct!

Ten Little Zombies: A Love Story is back by popular demand!

Stuff like this happens all the way through the book.

Nothing can stop love.
Wait... Not love... Zombies. Nothing can stop zombies.
When you and your sweetheart are on the run from ten little zombies, your only option is to systematically destroy them one by one, or else one of you will become zombie number eleven. All you need are nail guns, acid, a chainsaw, a grenade, and a love that will never die– or stay dead for very long.
Ten Little Zombies might just touch your heart. Or eat your brain.

WARNING: This looks like a picture book for kids, but it is a gift book for older kids and adults. Inside are depictions of cartoon mayhem where zombies are done away with in various ways. If you are looking for an appropriate read-aloud for a small child, scroll up!

One of my favourite books of the love poetry genre…Ten Little Zombies stands out to me for having a rare level of artistic integrity and unity as a book.”
