This month I'm hitting the road with Earl and Worm! Hope to see you soon!

This is Worm. Worm likes books. Worm likes quiet. Worm does not like to be interrupted! Worm is one half of EARL AND WORM - my new series for early readers that launches two weeks from today! ✌️👋🪱🦉😎

Today I did not go to the studio. I visited an elementary school in the Philly burbs and read to kids aged K-6th grade. This photo was taken by a 2nd grader 🙂

Authors and illustrators - never forget that you have an influence over the future generation. An ode to Baloney by a 3rd grade student in Littleton, CO. @gregpizzoli.bsky.social

Hand drawn cover of a student created book. Title is "Baloney and Friends Do Not Get Dirty".

Back cover of a student created book. Why I wrote this book is because I love reading and the original book Baloney and Friends I loved because how Peanut is so kind to Baloney and that is what I feel like when I'm with my friends. So that is why I want it to write a book. Book. Two coming up Baloney and Friends a Helping Hand. Cool! Wow! Awesome!

I visited two different elementary schools today and had such a blast. Reading with kids and talking about writing, drawing, and making stuff - it’s the best.

Greg Pizzoli @gregpizzoli.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Today I visited @bookpeople.bsky.social in Austin, TX and signed some books. An amazing indie book store! Much, much better than Amazon.

I am traveling today so my studio is an airport and my workspace is a sketchbook. Making tiny doodles and coming up with ideas for something new.

Not at the studio today, just spending time with family. We went to the library and saw one of our favorites - No Fits, Nilson! by Zach Ohora. A beautiful, funny book.

Today at the studio I designed this bookmark to give to librarians at the TXLA conference in Dallas. Anyone else from #kidlit world planning to go?

Today in the studio I am working through copy edits of the third Earl and Worm book. I turned in the art a few weeks ago and then CE got back to me with notes and questions - mostly regarding consistency. Copy editors have saved me from making many, many mistakes in print! #kidlit

Today at the studio I am working on art for a picture book. I am drawing each color of the book one layer at a time. I will always be a screenprinter at heart. #kidlit

I’m in the studio today but mostly just cleaning up and hanging with the kids. Their favorite thing about my studio is the projector I installed during lockdown.
