Thanks to my publisher/editor Justin Chanda and art director Laurent Linn for alerting me to the fact that Publisher's Weekly gave I'M BORED a starred review in their July 9th issue, woohoo!
An excerpt:
"It looks to be the ultimate ennui smackdown: a bored-out-of-her-gourd kid vs. an equally jaded potato... Debut illustrator Ohi’s minimalist, scraggly digital drawings are anything but boring, and speak volumes about irritation, desperation, and disdain."
Yaaaay! :-D
For those who aren't familiar with my book...
I'M BORED is a new picture book written by Michael Ian Black and illustrated by yours truly, coming out on Sept.4th from Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers. You can read about how the book was created plus see sketches and sample spreads in the I'm Bored Scrapbook. Parents, teachers and librarians may also want to check out the Super Secret I'M BORED Bonus Page.
You can also find I'M BORED on Facebook, Google+ and the Simon & Schuster website, and buy I'M BORED swag on Zazzle. All swag proceeds will go to Breaking The Chain, a nonprofit literacy cause founded by Riley Carney. Breaking The Chain which works to put new books in high-risk, high-need elementary and middle schools.

Happy Friday to all. The sun is shining (at least for now), spring is in the air and you are still sitting at your desk. Sorry about that. Procrastinate the day away with these links or by exploring the great content we posted this week (seriously it was a great week!)
A reading list of essentials that could keep you busy all year, and next year, and the year after.
A day in the life of everyone who sits around me.
Time Out takes on publishing.
How should you feel when the Pulitzer Prize winner is no one?
Essential New York books.
An interview with Tony Kushner. (Favorite Angels in America quote, “The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word free to a note so high nobody could reach it. That was deliberate.”)
Library smut!
(A little incestuous I know, but…) Ben Zimmer’s “Goodbye for now” post.
