Why Can't We Be Friends?

This adult children’s book was created to help bring awareness to some of the most common myths and misconceptions that surround sharks–the most majestic creatures of the sea. I reached out to Lauren Barfield, after being a long-time follower of her work on Tumblr (laurenontheinternet). Her illustration style and outlandish sense of humor is exactly what I envisioned for this book and to say I was thrilled when she agreed to work with me on this, would be an understatement. I provided Lauren with copy and rough sketches/ideas (see entertaining examples above), and she would send back the final colored visuals.
