~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jarrett J. Krosoczka used to be a goofy kid that liked to draw. Now, he is a published author/illustrator with many books to his credit.

What an absolute treat to be on one of my most favorite radio programs, and interviewed by one of my most favorite correspondents. However amazing you think Michele Norris might be in person, multiply that by a hundred, and that's what you get! I am so honored to have been May's Backseat Book Club selection on NPR's All Things Considered!

Give it a listen here!

Necks Out for Adventure by Timothy Basil Ering
Necks Out is so much fun and the illustrations are jaw-droppingly beautiful. The paintings in the book are to behold! I would say they rival J.M.W. Turner in terms of skill in depicting light and water. This is a story about clams... I mean wigleskin...more

Saleh Hi.What We Talk About When We Talk About Love?PLZ Answer The Question In My Profile.



Sheila Me and my kids just visited your website. We watched all of the previews for your books. They were fantastic! Now they want all of your books...I do also! You are very talented. We will be making a trip to the library soon to check out your books. Soon, I am sure, they will be part of our home collection of books.


Leprocess yo!! good reads rules! but more importantly, you rule!
