School Library Journal lists Hey, Kiddo in both the YA and graphic novel best-of lists. Honored to be recognized by this group of game-changers who are getting books into the hands of young readers every single day!
And look at that amazing cover art by John Hendrix for SLJ’s December issue!
When a student asks what you would say to a kid who “might” be living what you lived through... I am grateful that HEY, KIDDO is opening up these conversations.
From the Chicago Tribune: National Book Award finalist visits Elgin school, shares childhood, family addiction story that became focus of book.
I stopped by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to wish all of my friends up North a Happy Thanksgiving. 🇨🇦🍗
Just kidding. I was on CBC's q to talk about the weightiness of writing difficult truths in literature for young people: Click to listen: Why author Jarrett J. Krosoczka doesn't hide the hard truths about addiction from kids.
A few weeks back, I had the honor of stopping by my local PBS affiliate, WGBY, to talk about HEY, KIDDO. Video above!

Thrilled to have HEY, KIDDO listed in two separate best-of lists in Washington Post’s 2018 literary wrap-up.
Great lists to find your next reads!

And just a quick PSA: If you are attending an author’s reading, odds are extremely high there is a local bookshop behind that event. So please support IRL experiences by purchasing books from those local indies.
