Reggie Brown's (@reggiebrownart.bsky.social) art in our picture book LITTLE BIG MAN (Scholastic/Orchard Books, 2025) has lots of visual humor as Elijah tries to help with chores.
After working on this book for years, I'm excited that LITTLE BIG MAN, my debut picture book with @reggiebrownart.bsky.social, is almost out in stores. More details are coming soon concerning preorders, the tour, and other events, but for now, here's a bit from the book!

Losing your mind over being blocked could be an entire sociology textbook. It took less than ten years to rewire certain human brains into believing they were entitled to full and constant access to every other person on the planet. A species that, a hundred years ago, would know a hundred people.

Thank you for all the work you do for the kidlit community.

Thank you.
Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
