Before I forget, it’s the Bicentennial summer! That’s 250 years of the USA existing!

I’ve illustrated My Bicentennial Summer and it’s out now from Candlewick Press. It’s the sequel to My Antarctica and it’s a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection for 2026.

Written by Greg Neri the book goes back to 1976 to follow Greg and his family on the most all-American road trip of all time.

For more info, including where you can get a copy, check out the My Bicentennial Summer page over at Penguin Random House.

My Antarctica is out today from Candlewick Press and I’m thrilled to announce that not only has it received the prestigious starred review from Kirkus, but also from Booklist, and to top it all has been chosen as a Junior Library Guild Selection.

Thank you to all the people who’ve taken the time to write about this book, including Publishers Weekly, the School Library Journal, and the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books.

Written by G. Neri and illustrated by myself, the book takes a modern, personal, and humorous journey into our most mysterious continent.

It’s been a long time coming, and it’s exciting to see this travel-journal-picturebook-graphic-novel finally hit the shelves.

You can find all the places to order your copy on my website or at Penguin Random House.
