    When two bug friends leave their small hometown, they realize there's a lot to learn about the outside world and themselves! This graphic novel series returns filled with friendship and adventure!

    “Full of cute, colorful and occasionally weird art, these books are deeper and more profound than anyone would expect comics about a pair of bugs to be.”—InvestiGators author John Patrick Green, The New York Times

    Bug Boys return with all-new stories about our favorite bug pals. This amazing book is filled with adventure, exploring new feelings, and continuing on the friendship journey with Stag-B and Rhino-B.

Her Bug Boys comic zine series was nominated for an Ignatz Award in 2018. Bug Boys is her debut graphic novel series. She continues to work on comics and picture books in her spare time.

    “Bug Boys has a wonderful blend of silliness, introspection, adventure and the right amount of weirdness. I loved how Rhino-B and Stag-B deal with the pressure of being true to each other and to the new friends they make on their journeys.” —Drew Brockington, author of CatStronauts

    ★ "The variety of warm personalities… create welcome bug-size tours of a world worth exploring repeatedly for new and returning readers." —School Library Journal, starred review
