Onfim: free eBook

Here’s a free eBook for your kids and students! It’s the true story of Onfim, a little boy who lived in Russia 700 years ago and loved to draw. His art was preserved in soil for centuries and has been found recently. I found that story fascinating and thought that young readers would like it too.

I illustrated American stamps!

This was one of the most exciting assignments I’ve ever been given. I feel so lucky! These can be purchased in USPS stores. You can use the little stickers in the margins to customize your own monsters. I hope these little guys will travel all around the world!

Science doesn’t lie to you

Changing our mind when finding new information is the smart thing to do. It’s also very challenging for most people. It would be worrisome if scientists were never revising their previous conclusions.

Reading positions

Here’s little comic to illustrate common reading positions. Which ones do you master, and which ones did I forget? I know I forgot “reading with kids running around” but I guess it would fit in “the hardcore”.
