My Words

"The prose rhymes loosely, bouncing ahead in a rhythm that is a pleasure to read aloud." Kirkus Reviews As Ava progresses from baby talk to short words and onomatopoeia, Snider dives into the language-acquisition process...[and] employs a lively rhyme scheme throughout." Publishers Weekly

Grant Snider began drawing and writing before he knew what he was doing. Soon it was too late to stop. He has many favorite words, like zephyr, tapir, and skyscraper. He is the author of the picture books What Color Is Night? and What Sound Is Morning? and is the creator of Incidental Comics, which were collected and published in two books, The Shape of Ideas and I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf. His comics about creativity and the human condition have appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, and The Best American Comics 2013. Grant lives in Wichita, Kansas, with his wife, daughter, and three sons, where he also practices orthodontics. You can often find him carrying a sketchbook, lost in his own thoughts, and you can also visit him at grantsnider.com. Grant Snider began drawing and writing before he knew what he was doing.
