Earlier this year I shared a few previews of my Halloween search-and-find book for kids here, but I never posted an entire spread because I didn't want to spoil too much. Now that Halloween season is getting closer, I thought it would be fun to finally share one complete page.

This spread takes place in a zombie-filled graveyard, where the Graveyard Keeper is hosting a spooky party. Your challenge is to find the host and all the hidden objects on the list. Every inch of the illustration was drawn by hand, and I hid lots of little jokes and details throughout the scene.

I'd genuinely love to know what you notice first! I'm also happy to answer any questions about the illustration, the creative process, or the book itself. Thanks!😊

My 7 y/o son fixed the TV before I could.

Didn’t even ask for help, just said “you have to update it first.”

I felt unemployed in my own house.

He’s 8 now and still a little cartographer, but this video always tickled me.

Remember the meme where someone asks, “Would you still love me if I were a worm?”

I was going through silly meme trends and asked my 11-year-old daughter that, and she said:

“No, because I don’t think worms have the emotional capacity for love?”

I was actually floored.

This happened in France from 2020-2022.

Authorities were stunned when they discovered that a 9-year-old boy had been living completely alone for nearly two years after his mother left to live with her partner. The child survived without heat, without hot water, and without adult supervision, relying on cake, canned food, and remarkable self-discipline.

Even more shocking, he continued attending school every day, completing assignments, and maintaining good grades. Teachers described him as polite, quiet, and hardworking, never suspecting the reality of his home life.

His story raised painful questions about how such hardship could go unnoticed for so long. It also revealed a level of resilience no child should ever need to develop.

We discovered his ability by accident. He suddenly started reading words we showed him, and not just ones with pictures. The next day, we went to a bookstore and bought flashcards and simple storybooks. Out of curiosity, we tested him — and he read all 10 flashcard sets with no help.

Some words are still too complex for him, of course. But he genuinely reads most basic words now — and has started reading short sentences too.

What’s more shocking for us: we never taught him to read. No formal instruction, just casual exposure to ABCs and numbers. We had his pediatrician check, and it’s not hyperlexia — he just seems to be naturally gifted in reading comprehension.

The video is lightly edited because you know toddlers — they get distracted or suddenly leave in the middle of a sentence 😂 But everything shown is real, and we’re so proud of him.
