When you
love comics like Pizza and Taco do, the next step after reading them is to collaborate on one! But what happens when they run up against “artistic differences?” Can these two strong-willed foodstuffs compromise and make a comic that is more
awesome than the sum of its parts?
STEPHEN SHASKAN has written and illustrated a dozen children's books in addition to his successful
Pizza and Taco series. His debut picture book,
A Dog Is a Dog, was a New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Selection and was a CCBC Choices Book. He holds a BFA in illustration from Rhode Island School of Design, and worked with kids for twenty years as an early childhood educator and an after-school and summer art teacher. He performs musical storytimes, presents at schools, conferences, and festivals, and teaches comic classes to kids. Stephen lives with--and often collaborates with--his wife, author Trisha Speed Shaskan, in Minneapolis.
