MAX FOR PRESIDENT - paperback out today!


Max for President is out in paperback today!
The paperback edition is just like the hardcover, except it's, well - softer and there's that little Dragonfly logo on the cover. Oh - and it costs less money to buy.
Order a copy through your local indie book shop, B&N, or Amazon.

And get ready for the political season to heat up! Perhaps my most favorite review from this book came from The New York Post. Back in 2004, they said, "...Krosoczka offers an example of bipartisanship grown-up politicians would do well to follow."



In the meantime, dear blog readers, I'll be on a bit of a blogvacation in the next few weeks while I enjoy the waning moments of summer. Thank you for reading and I'll see you in September!

School Visit Promo Video

A note for library media specialists, reading specialists, teachers and PTO presidents:

I now have a promo video of my school visits. I hope that it helps new schools get a feel for what happens when I present to schools. You can view the video here - http://studiojjk.com/previewpresentation.html

One thing that I learned this past year is that schools (for the most part) block YouTube. You'll find that it's a straight Quicktime video on my site. However, I do know that there are still plenty of people clicking away on the ol' YouTube, so you can also get the video there as well. (See below.)

Sketchbook Saturday - Max for President

Max for President will be pub'd in paperback in a few weeks and to lead up to that, I will be posting a few preliminary sketches from the book's first few pages.





Now break out your copy and compare and contrast the differences with the finished illustrations. Notice any differences?
