Welcome

Here's the title page of a fun new book for spring 2013.

Thanks for stopping by...


I'm an illustrator and author of books for children:
picture books, board books, chapter books, books with flaps and folds and even books with wheels.

I also illustrate stories in magazines, individual book jackets, posters, packaging, educational materials and just about any project designed for children.

In addition, I enjoy travelling to schools, libraries, book festivals and professional conferences to talk about making books and illustrations.

I can’t think of a better job!

For several years, I’ve been illustrating the Paddington Bear books.

That’s a lot of fun!

Recently, I’ve collaborated with my wife, the lovely Zoë B. Alley, to illustrate her two marvelous, gigantic, comic panel picture books:

THERE'S A WOLF AT THE DOOR and

THERE'S A PRINCESS IN THE PALACE.

More fun!


Please take a look around these pages.
