We are always thrilled when bestselling author/illustrator Scott Magoon has a new picture book out in the world. And we're extra excited that he's celebrating his newest book with us! Join us and Scott as we celebrate There's No Place Like Gnome's, a loving example of a community supporting each other, even in the face of unprecedented circumstances.
About Scott Magoon
Scott Magoon was inspired to write There’s No Place Like Gnome’s after discovering three baby foxes living under his backyard shed. A garden gnome standing nearby seemed to watch over the little family. Scott is the illustrator of several acclaimed picture books, including the New York Times bestselling Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship by Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes, the Misunderstood Shark series by Ame Dyckman, and the Spoon series by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. He is also the author/illustrator of Linus the Little Yellow Pencil, Breathe, and The Boy Who Cried Bigfoot! He lives in Massachusetts with his family.
