He creates funny, honest picture books about misjudged kids, misunderstood people, and the stories we get wrong.
Some kids are good.
Some kids are trouble.
Most kids are both.
This is the story of a boy who has a bit of a reputation.
He doesn’t mean to get into trouble… but somehow, it always seems to find him.
So when his parents plan a big day out with new people, there’s just one hope:
maybe this time will be different.
The Boy Who Was Trouble is a funny, honest picture book about big feelings, second chances, and what happens when one moment starts to define a child.
Sharp, playful storytelling — funny, familiar, and a joy to read aloud
Expressive, character-driven illustrations — full of humor and heart
A story that feels true — for kids, parents, and anyone who’s ever had a “day”
Perfect for families who know that being a kid isn’t always easy… and being a parent isn’t either.
Fans of Shel Silverstein and Roald Dahl will feel right at home.
