Sir Julian has a BIG problem. It’s bedtime, but he’s starving!
 
Desperate for a snack to tame the hungry, grumbly beast in his stomach, he sets out on a quest to the kitchen.
 
But there are frightening unknowns lurking around every corner. Can he summon the courage to brave the dark and stop his rumbling tummy?

    SLJ, starred review
  • “Clever narration with puns, onomatopoeia, and alliteration support Sir Julian’s imagined self as a brave and noble knight …. Share this with adventurous picky eaters to help conquer their fears and feel victorious on a full tummy.”
    BCCB
  • “Wicker turns the hero’s journey on its side and tickles it.”
    Publishers Weekly
  • “Digital art effectively depicts Sir Julian’s wide range of emotions, from trepidation to terror to triumph … kids will enjoy comic nods like the overly dramatic depiction of the unfamiliar—and therefore—monstrous dinner.”
    Kirkus
  • Praise for The Ugly Doodles:
  • "A hilarious ode to first attempts and revision results for every artist, writer, and maker."
    Ame Dyckman, New York Times bestselling author
