And The Gentleman Bat!

"The cool autumn drizzle did not spoil his stroll; A sprinkling of rain can be good for the soul."

Too Many Tables Turns One!

April 28 makes the one year anniversary of the release of Too Many Tables by Abraham Schroeder and illustrated by Micah Monkey.

This hilarious story is a must read about what happens with restaurant owners realize they are missing a key ingredient for their opening day.

The premise is simple, silly, and unforgettably entertaining. Abraham Schroeder's second book is a delightful story that breaks from the carefully measured humor of his debut book, The Gentleman Bat. Micah Monkey' colorful and expressive drawings throw readers into a chaotic world filled with just too many tables! The comical story and bright visuals will keep readers thoroughly entertained as they revisit the book time and time again. 

But people with tables kept coming.

They brought short tables and tall tables,

coffee tables and patio tables,

foldng tables and foosball tables,

Ping-Pong tables and pool tables.

Behind the Scenes of Graduation Day

We are excited to share that Piotr Parda, illustrator of The Gentleman Bat, is working on his next book with us. Piotr's first solo title, Graduation Day, is the wordless story of a girl who does something beautiful after being bullied at school. The medium for the book is watercolor and mono-print and it all came together in Photoshop. Publication is slated for spring 2017.

Inspiration for Graduation Day?
