KrosoczkaJarrett J. Krosoczka is the author-illustrator of Good Night, Monkey Boy; Baghead; Annie Was Warned; and Max for President. The author lives in Boston, MA.ABOUT THE AUTHOR“How old were you when you started drawing?” This is a question that I get asked often and not one that I can truly answer. I really don’t know when I first started drawing. I always did, I just never stopped.I would come home from school and just draw character after character and put them in various scenarios. I was in 3rd grade when I wrote and illustrated a book for the first time. As a kid, I was lucky to have the Worcester Art Museum just down the street from me and even luckier that my grandfather sent me to classes there starting in 6th grade. My first class was a cartooning class and most classes after that had something to do with cartooning! I was in love with Peanuts by Charles Shultz and Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. In fact, all throughout childhood and high school I wanted to either be a cartoonist for a comic strip or a comic book and I also thought that I might be an animator. When I was in high school, I got to be the cartoonist for my school paper and I got such a charge out of seeing my work published. Right before I graduated high school, two big things happened- 1) I started volunteering at a camp for seriously ill children and 2) I saw two incredible books — The Garden of Abdul Gasazi and The Salamander Room. Both experiences opened my eyes to the potential that creating picture books for a young audience had.So when I was a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, I had already decided that I wanted to be an author and an illustrator for picture books. But I wasn’t able to just draw my characters all of the time. I had to take a ton of painting and drawing classes! At the time, I hated it, but I learned so much. It was after I copied a painting by John Singer Sargent that my work took another turn - I started painting my characters! Aside from all of my studio courses, I also took several creative writing courses to sharpen up my writing skills.Determined to get published, I started submitting stories to publishers while I was still a student. I received a great deal of rejection letters and I also wrote a great deal of new stories. I graduated and continued to send submissions to publishers like a madman. Eventually, I was invited in by an editor at Random House to show my portfolio. And that is when Good Night, Monkey Boy got picked up! It was a dream come true! My first book would be published! People would read it! My name would be on the spine! So really, what I do now, isn’t any different from what I’ve been doing since I was a kid — I tell stories with pictures and words. And again- I have no plans of stopping!

Jarrett Krosoczka Jarrett Krosoczka llegeix Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute.When Pimiento the Chicken and Honey the Blind Ferret heard that Jarrett Krosoczka is coming to town, you can imagine that they went a little crazy with excitement. OK, we're underplaying it. They went a lot crazy. And yes, it wasn't just those two, it was pretty much every animal in the store--even calm, cool, and collected Spike the Wise Lizard. Why? We think you know why. And if you don't, you should hurry down to Wild Rumpus and pick up a copy of Punk Farm. It's about animals who get down and and rock at night, unbeknownst to the farmer. We have a feeling that the Rumpus animals have taken a page from Jarrett Krosoczka, because more than once we've opened the store only to find furniture rearranged, cages opened, and, yes, musical instruments that we'd never seen before. Not to mention exhausted cats and ferrets. So, the animals are overjoyed about Jarrett's upcoming visit (finally! someone who understands their nightlife and approves!). We're excited, too--because he's got a whole array of hilarious books which we absolutely love. (omayao)… (més)
