Tiny Tales: Firefly Night (2024)

Spinning off HarperCollins’s beloved I Can Read series, I Can Read Comics is an early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.

It’s hard to see in the dark…unless you’re Firefly! Will Firefly be able to show their friends the beautiful moonflower, or will sleep win the night?

Firefly Night also has a "Cartooning Basics" page at the front of the book and a "Nature Guide" page at the back, making it the whole package for emerging readers—and a great example of what I Can Read Comics is all about!

Tiny Tales: Firefly Night is a Level Three I Can Read Comic, meaning it’s a more complex story for independent readers.

A graphic novel for early readers written and drawn by myself, published through HarperAlley an imprint of HarperCollins.

Tiny Tales: A Feast for Friends

Book 2 in the series! What's better than a snack with friends? A snack surprise for friends, of course!

This whimsically illustrated, uplifting story will not only make kids fall in love with comics but will also spark their curiosity about the natural world.

Tiny Tales: A Feast for Friends is a Level Three I Can Read Comic, meaning it’s a more complex story for independent readers.

Tiny Tales: Shell Quest

A small graphic novel for early readers written and drawn by myself, published through HarperAlley an imprint of HarperCollins.
