The picture book Endlessly Ever After by Laurel Snyder (out everywhere today!!) not only combines the Choose Your Own Adventure format and applies it to fairy tales, but it is also sumptuously illustrated by Caldecott Award winner and general nice fellow Dan Santat.

You last saw rock star Rhett Miller when he paired with Dan on No More Poems! Now they're back together on a new 2022 title that involves quite the Faustian deal.
Happy Book Birthday, Great Santa Stakeout!
Folks, I like self-promotion just about as much as I like yanking hanks of hair out of my head. But look, I can promote a book a lot better when I have someone as magnificent as Dan Santat in my corner. Today, I am pleased as punch to announce the publication of my brand spanking new picture book THE GREAT SANTA STAKEOUT! Is it too early for Christmas?

Cover Reveal: No More Poems by Rhett Miller, ill. Dan Santat

The Women’s March: Artists Bring Their Talents

Video Sunday: Living dolls, shark costumes, buried books and goats in pjs
