I've had to keep this quiet for a while, so I'm thrilled to announce that my graphic novel adaptation of TUCK EVERLASTING by Natalie Babbitt will be coming out Fall 2025 with @fsgyoungreaders @macmillanusa! TUCK EVERLASTING: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL is 240 pages of traditionally watercolored pages, which I adapted from the original gorgeous book. The Babbitt estate has been an absolute pleasure to work with, as has the team at FSG and @01FirstSecond: Wes Adams @wezbooks, @hmillerbooks, @kirkbenshoffdesigns @syleeart and more! A big thanks to my agent @saracrowelit as well! I'll be sharing more about this in the coming months, as well as on my Substack newsletter, Creating Comics (link in bio). Yay!!"
