Thank you Jarrett Lerner for writing a most delightful new book! Welcome to Scare School designdrivedo.com/welcome-to-sca… Check out my blog post! ❤️ #bookposse Simon Kids

Thank you to Amanda Jones: Defender of Libraries & Wonder for the shoutout in her upcoming New York Times interview! Amanda is one of the bravest, smartest, and most inspiring individuals I’ve had the honor to meet and learn from. I cannot wait to celebrate the release of her book, which is out next week!!!

Of all the terrible narratives out there, this one that claims boys and men don’t experience the full range of human emotions — and that, if they somehow DO, they should definitely never admit it or express it publicly — has got to be one of the worst and most harmful.

I’m only halfway through this book but recommending it already because it’s so delightful and brilliant it’s helped me entirely forget that my neck is throbbing and my jaw is aching. Incredible stuff, Joy McCullough (is on Threads)!

Excited to learn that posters featuring my artwork for the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival are popping up around the festival area. Still very honored to have been asked to design this year’s fest art.

A perfect fable of a picture book, expertly written and exquisitely illustrated by dream team Travis Jonker and Matthew Cordell. This is the sort of story that will resonate with every reader (or listener!). It was particularly profound to me as a creator/maker of things.

Educators: what books are you reading aloud to your students this school year? (psst! You can download and print a copy of this poster — in both English and Spanish — for free at my website: jarrettlerner.com/art)

REQUIRED READING. Congrats to Amanda Jones: Defender of Libraries & Wonder on her book finally being out in the world today! And THANK YOU, Amanda, for all the work you’ve done and continue to do.

Well, Scare School Diaries by Jarrett Lerner is just, quite ironically given the title, full of such loveliness. Great themes of friendship and fitting it. I really liked it and readers from 7+ will love it too. An accessible longer read that is fab ❤️📚

Cover proofs for My Mad Scientist Mom: Saved by the Smell! This new series launches March, 2025.

I’m working on final interior art for the first book in my upcoming My Mad Scientist Mom chapter book series, and keep flip-flopping on if/how to back the illustrations. What do YOU think???

The organizers of a conference I’ll be speaking at next month asked if I could put one of my shirts up for sale so their attendees could get some. In case you’ve been wanting this design of mine on a shirt, you can get one too! See options/order here: customink.com/fundraising/bo…
