Why am I passionate about this?
I am the Illustrator of 45 books for kids, 9 of which I authored as well. I have always been attracted to joyful nonsense. I am drawn to books and writings that turn norms on their heads. From the time I was super young, my favorite poem has been Lewis Carrollās āJabberwockyā with its delightful slithy toves gyring and gimbling in the wabe. In fact, of the books Iāve written to date, every one has had some kind of nonsensical element to it.
Aaron's book list on nonsense in childrenās books
Why did Aaron love this book?
A little cave boy from another world hops through his day while encountering bizarre-looking flora and fauna with equally funny names. He is greeted in the morning, afternoon, and night with a friendly āZoodle Oopā āYoop Doozā and āGood Zap.ā The pages blend a perfect mixture of alien and familiar. Give the book a whirl and youāll be enjoying gems like these: āThe ooglets are tuzzlingā¦ā āā¦all the blue zamblots are covered in flumms,ā āA tiny paroobie is churling āZlink-zlink!āā
