What’s So Bad About Being An Only Child? Story by Cari Best; Pictures by Sophie Blackall
“‘What if there is a monster under the table?’ said Jumpy Jack. ‘What if there is a monster with long thin feet that jumps out from under the table and frightens me so much I nearly faint?’
‘Ho ho ho,’ said Googily. ‘Now you really have gone too far.’”

Our first book!
Our children’s book, The Insomniacs: story by Karina Wolf and illustrations by the Brothers Hilts will be published by Penguin Putnam Books. We’re so excited to tell you!
The book is a Tumblr success: Benjamin Hilts, his brother and illustrating partner Sean Hilts, and Karina Wolf (Wolfandfox) became friends through tumblr. Karina had written a story about a nocturnal family, and when they read it, Ben and Sean were excited to find that the story of an untraditional, insomniac family was also their story. They decided to create the pictures for the text. (We also started Children’s Books as a place to collect illustration that inspires us.)
The book is in the publishing pipeline, so it’ll be a while before it’s in stores, but we’re so thrilled to tell people and will add updates when we have more news. A book!
