Robin and the Stick’s cover features Robin, a preverbal, tenacious toddler who is figuring out the world one adventure at a time.
Robin and the Stick is a relatable story for children and parents alike. When my son was Robin’s age, we added a “stick jug” to the living room in order to reign in the numerous sticks entering the house.
The illustrations were created using a limited palette. The backgrounds are all soft grays and Robin is the only bright pop of color throughout.
Picture books are the perfect art form! They are available to anyone and everyone to experience art and story right in your hands, even if your hands are tiny! Robin and the Stick measures in at a huggable 7×7 inches.
John Schu, you should have asked me if Robin will be part of a series . . . yes! Robin and the Stick is the first of 3 planned books from Robin’s World. Readers can keep up to date with all the Robin news through my substack newsletter, A Tiny Room.
