Exclusive Book Cover Reveal: CLAYMATES by Dev Petty and Lauren Eldridge
I am a sucker for unique illustration techniques. Photographs, cut paper, painted hands – yes, yes, and well, maybe not (but upon further contemplation, heck yes). Because of this affinity for the unique, an upcoming book called Claymates has been on my radar for a while. It’s written by Dev Petty (author of I Don’t […]
#1 Travis and Colby (S1 E1)
Travis: The problem: there are a whole bunch of episodes of The Yarn that are nowhere to be found on The Yarn blog. You see the issue here, right? Today we start to fix that. Let’s begin at the beginning, with the very first episode. Over time we’ll give all the past episodes a proper home […]
Every EVERY Book
I’ve been noticing a batch of 2016 books with “Every” at the start of the title. Have you noticed this too? It’s more YA-ish than anything, but here’s every (sorry, had to do it) 2016 example I could find:
Books on Film: How to Spot a First Edition of The Cat in the Hat
My book collection is as haphazard as they come. Maybe because of this, I’ve always admired folks who collect books with a purpose – 1st editions, signed copies, all the winners of a specific award – that kind of thing.

The Most Astonishingly Unconventional Children’s Books of 2016

Announcement Time! Which Book Will We Follow for Season 2 of The Yarn?
Travis: When Colby and I began The Yarn, we wanted a show that was a mix of Netflix (release a bunch of episodes at once, or close), Serial (have a bunch of episodes focused on one topic), and Beyoncé (release them unannounced). Season 1 was all of these things. Since then, the show has evolved […]
Cover Curiosity: Face to Face
Some book covers, I think, are designed to like other book covers on purpose. Like this, for example. Others happen to share a general composition. Here’s one such pair.
