New Jill Esbaum Early Reader Series Lands at Simon Spotlight

We’re so excited about this one. Jill has put her comedy writing skills to good use and we’ve got a hilarious early reader series starting in 2021. Two dinosaurs trying to become friends in a world where you usually have to run for your life is perfect for readers of all ages. This series is going to be a fun one!

Siobhan Ciminera at Simon Spotlight has acquired world rights to three titles in a new series, Thunder and Cluck, in the Ready-to-Read early reader line by Jill Esbaum (We Love Babies! ), illustrated by Miles Thompson. In the first book, Friends Do Not Eat Friends, a cheeky little dinosaur tries to convince a hungry T. rex he'd be better as a friend than a meal. Publication is planned for summer 2021; Tricia Lawrence at Erin Murphy Literary represented the author, and the illustrator represented himself.

Congratulations, Jill!
