Author/illustrator of the Giggle and Learn Series for Toon Books. He has traveled the country from the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia to the California Academy of Sciences sharing fascinating facts about common creatures.

We Dig Worms! was created in 2015 when his wife, Patt, a librarian, asked for a funny worm book to read to children. He painted worms on recycled grocery bags. Françoise Mouly, the publisher of Toon Books, art directed and edited We Dig Worms! into a real book. Since then, he has written five more Toon Books about little creatures.
