PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ZACH SMITH is a storyboard artist who has done work for Netflix, WB Animation, and Nickelodeon. He currently does storyboards on Animaniacs at WB Animation, and works on a show that he created. Zach grew up in Michigan, but now lives in Southern California with his wife, kids, and dog. This is his first book for children.
In his debut graphic novel, storyboard artist Smith brings to the page all the humor, quirk, and energy of an animated cartoon. The frenetic expressions of his bug-eyed, baby-toothed characters bring humor and movement to every panel, while Lacy's pastel colors soften the eccentric comedy. Deerburbia (slogan, 'A Place to Live')--which gets the full-map treatment--lays a strong foundation of suburban absurdity, offering a literal world of possibilities for future adventures, which readers should be eager to jump into.--Booklist Smith's wacky illustrations and silly character antics will remind kids of their favorite cartoons. . . . A silly superhero romp and a fun addition to graphic novel collections.--School Library Journal Both underachievers and overachievers will be pleasantly bemused and amused in equal measure by this low-key adventure--Kirkus Reviews
