It’s evening and Baby is asleep. Momma and Dad set up Baby’s crib, but leave the door unlocked. Most babies scoot, flop, and roll their way to sleep. But this Baby? This Baby tumbles right out the door! Down the street they go, past the neighborhood, gathering debris on the way.
Still asleep, the tumbling Baby keeps a steady pace, rolling and rolling from one adventure to the next. Tumblebaby tumbles through a pack of coyotes and becomes their king; around the country saving the day in various cities; and all the way up Everest, winning Olympic Gold, sparking a historic chain of events. Eventually, Tumblebaby tumbles home, well-traveled, well rested, having changed the whole world, eyes closed all along.
A tall tale with a sweeping, laugh-out-loud narrative, penned by expert humorist Adam Rex and illustrated with Audrey Helen Weber’s singular and wholly uninhibited art, Tumblebaby invites young readers to twist the narrative on their earliest years in this whole new mythology about who we are, where we come from, and where we’ve been.

Boov Fanart - Alien Girl - October 2020
More aliens from the True Meaning of Smekday. I planned this one more based on the colors and wanted to do something with sunflowers; so dark blue and sunflowers it was! I spent a very long time on the dress so this is the most detailed out of the 4 total drawings of these creatures.
I wanted to do several as a series so that's why I held them until I had a bunch. I'm seriously not done drawing Boov, but I will post if I feel like it.

“‘Also I think Doug is a vampire.’ 'Um,’ Ophelia frowned. 'You mean, like, a metaphorical vampire?’ 'No, the regular kind.’” - Adam Rex, Fat Vampire 🧛🏻‍♂ Is there a nice way to say this book felt like a waste of time? I really wanted to like it - I mean it sounds so funny, right? A fifteen year old is turned into a vampire while he’s overweight? Vampire’s are always so perfect looking - this had so much potential to be awesome. The main character, Doug, is a selfish little asshole. He’s unkind and acts as if the world owes him something. And okay - vampire, but still, be decent. And while I dreaded every page of this book, I did like the female characters. They were fun, and strong, and didn’t fit into any stereotypes which I enjoyed. · · https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdvLfgAOCC/?igshid=12hyjh5mupdye

Each and every great books has its own place and time. Sometimes we're looking for something educational or informative or profound and moving. Other days we just want to be entertained, and a straightforwardly fun story is just the thing! For days like that, on this Tuesday I'm recommending "Chu's Day" (2013) by the wonderful Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Adam Rex. Rex's brightly coloured, inviting art is perfect for this light-hearted story about a little panda with a BIG sneeze, and what happens when adults get distracted and don't pay attention to what their kids are saying. It's a relatively short read, with broad age appeal, and an excellent read-aloud. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #chusday #neilgaiman #neilgaimanbooks #neilgaimanbook #adamrex #panda #pandabooks #sneeze #sneezing #sneezeattack #libraryhaul #bookstack #bookster #amreading #kidsbook #picturebooks #booksonhold #bookitkid #torontopubliclibrary https://www.instagram.com/p/B371-1wHnfH/?igshid=10n6oovgvg33e

Boov Fanart - Cutest Witch - October 2020
So, I think I am ready to reveal what I have been up to for the last few months from an artistic perspective. I have been drawing the aliens from the True Meaning of Smekday in various poses and garments. I have 4 finished right now, but have a whole bunch of sketches on my phone and in a notebook.
When you love something, immerse yourself in it! For me, that means drawing it! :3 Yup, I'm a little obsessed with the Boov right now.
Here’s my halloween one. Happy Halloween, everyone!

BookPeople School Outreach Coordinator Ellen's pick: SCHOOL'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! "It's a really big day for Frederick Douglass Elementary School. It's it very first day of school! It's also the very first day of school for a small girl with freckles. Both are apprehensive, nervous, embarrassed, and a little bit shy, but slowly they learn how the whole "school thing" works and each have a great first day. From discovering what the jungle gym is for, to a fire drill, the school excitedly reports the day's events to Janitor, just as a child would tell their parent. Both the school and the girl like school by the end of the day with the promise of many more good days to come. The text by Adam Rex has some sweet and mild humor, and the art by Caldecott Honor artist Christian Robinson is particularly child-friendly - full of bold shapes, colors, diverse students, and classroom details familiar to kids. A cute twist on the first-day-of-school story." #newrelease #staffpick #kidlit #firstdayofschool #schoolsfirstdayofschool #adamrex #christianrobinson #caldecott (at BookPeople)

Boov - The True Meaning of Smekday - January 12, 2019
 Here is a boov researching a common Earth flower. I gave this boov the little disk phones that their Dreamworks counterparts carry. I am drawing a few of these aliens in the original Adam Rex 'True Meaning of Smekday' style from the books. Even though Dreamworks created some adorable boov, I still find the Smekday style boov to be cute. Side note: I watched Solo: A Star Wars Story last week and it really hit me how the Smekday style boov would really fit visually into the Star Wars universe. Awesome!
