Other Boys is on the Chicago Public Library’s “Best of the Best of 2021” and the Evanston Public Library’s “101 Great Books for Kids List of 2021” 😌📚
What do you think they’re so afraid of? 👻 I don’t post many of my personal drawings much lately, but I liked how this one came out. I’ve been thinking of writing a spooky story with a lot of lines and darker colors 🤔
The majority of my childhood was in the early 00s but I have this nostalgia for the late-80s/early-90s pastels and shapes aesthetic because my little life was filled with hand-me-downs. Most of my childhood I was very out of the loop, partially because I was raised by my grandparents. You’ll see a lot of these colors, patterns and hand-me-downs sprinkled through Other Boys. ✨🌈
This was one of my favorite panels to draw from Other Boys, even though it’s sad. 🥰😭
Other Boys has been out in the world for a whole month! 🌈📚 I’m so thankful for all the kind words and to anybody who has picked up a copy already! Here is some snipped of my post about the color choices made throughout the book. You can read the whole thing at DamiAnimated.com ✨
🌈 GIVEAWAY TIME!! 🌈
Now that I have a book out in the world I am forced to seek it out in any bookstore I pass for the rest of my life 😌 🌈 ✨
Other Boys received a 2nd starred review ⭐️ in the Oct 15 issue of Booklist! 📕
Just little pandemic things 😬
Come out at your own pace, at your own time, whenever you see fit and are comfortable ✨ 🌈
I made a custom American Girl doll of little me and a little copy of Other Boys 😌 Thank you to everyone who has shared pictures of your copy and of it out on store shelves! Keep sending them my way and I’ll keep sharing to my story 🥰
I made an Other Boys playlist inspired by my middle school mix CDs! 💿 Scan the code on Spotify to access it or click the link on the post in my story! 😌
Thank you for all the kind words about Other Boys ❤️🧡💛💚💙 And be sure to tag me in pics of your copy or if you find Other Boys out in the wild! Also if you love it be sure to leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon or recommend it to your local library 📚 I’m excited to one day see a library copy covered in those little spine stickers and well-worn from readers! 🥰
This LEGO set is the perfect little stand to display Other Boys on my shelf 😌 Other Boys is available now everywhere books are sold! You can get it in either paperback and hardcover! 🌈📚 If you buy a copy or see it out in the wild in its natural habitat (a bookstore or library!) please tag or @ me cause I’d love to see! ❤️🧡💛💚💙
It’s Other Boys first birthday and @kevinthewriter got me a cake to celebrate! Thank you to my editor Robyn and everyone at @01firstsecond for making this book really real! 🌈♥️🥳🎂📚
☎️ RING! ☎️ RING! ☎️ Who’s calling? It’s me! Letting you know Other Boys comes out tomorrow September 28th!! 🌈 📚
✨ Other Boys received a starred review from Kirkus ✨ It comes out in only 5️⃣ more days ✨ Be sure to preorder your copy ✨
I spent too long thinking about how a bookplate would fit with the design of “Other Boys” and didn’t want something that clashed, so I went with custom stickers rather than a traditional bookplate using a design of the binder that recurs throughout the book! It perfectly fits on the title page just above the First Second logo. (See pic 2 for how it will fit). I’m really happy with how these bookplates turned out 🥰 Preorder “Other Boys” at Porter Square Books to receive one! (“Other Boys” comes out September 28th) 📚
Join me for the Other Boys launch event in conversation with @ry_la_sa on October 2nd at 4pm ET / 1pm PT! I'm so excited to share my debut graphic novel memoir with you all. 🌈 Limited edition signed & doodled bookplates will be available with preorders with @porter_square_books 📚
My first time seeing a real physical copy of Other Boys!!! It’s so weird seeing it really real after working on it for so long!! It comes out September 28th! Thank you to Robyn and the wonderful team at @01firstsecond for making this book really real!! 🌈✨♥️
