The eyes of Charles Schulz from a book cover
Upcoming releases

Coming next March is Who was Charles Schulz?, a biography for kids that is part of a large Who is/was line published by Penguin Workshop (which really sounds like a place that you want to work, doesn’t it?) One hundred and twelve pages writ by Joan Holub and illustrated by Tim Foley, available in paperback, hardcover and ebook.
