If you're at the Frankfurt Book Fair, you can go see this picture from "The Skull" printed all big on a whole wall at the Walker / Candlewick booth 💀 2

"This Is Not My Hat" is about a fish who steals a hat from a very big fish and spends the book telling us that it was an ok thing to do & that he's going to be fine but it isn't & then he isn't fine. It is told completely in monologue. 3

I thought the ending was visually fun, especially ending on a white spread, but I didn't like that the book potentially killed these guys. In the other books if people die it's morally dubious / an overreaction, but this seemed too dark or something. THE END 4

I didn't hate the writing in the last few pages, even though it still sounds weird. These guys just never really breathed on their own. 4

The page about "it is snowing a lot" I hated so much, but I needed to bring attention that, as you'll see. Really hated it though. 4

that ghost table drawing led to this little story, again pretty old now, but it's actually an idea I had in third grade. I've been trying to expand it into a book but it's tough to expand without ruining it - it makes me kind of emotional just the way it is. 4

gotta say, doing illustrations and then having a story written to those...not a bad setup. i think i read somewhere that Lord Dunsany did it this way with Sydney Sime's drawings for his "Wonder Tales" - you kind of believe it when you read them, though maybe I read wrong 4

here are two interiors also. We get to do that neat thing where there are b&w chapter illustrations but also a few color ones on heavier paper ? 2
