Publishing worlds collide and create "Iggy Loomis"

In 2010, my book Vocabulary Cartoon of the Day (grades 2-3), illustrated by Mike Moran (whom I have still not met), came out. 

In 2012, my author friend Jennifer Allison (whose son portrayed Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel for a school project) asked for recommendations for good cartoonists.

I suggested Mike.

And he was the one hired to illustrate Jennifer’s 2013 book Iggy Loomis, Superkid in Training.

I love when this happens!

(It’s the first time this has happened.)

(For me, anyway.)

Good luck with Iggy, Jennifer and Mike!
