Author Visit

 

Award-winning children’s book author Troy Cummings is coming to Carlson on
Thursday, November 20, 2025.
 
 

 

As a kid, New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Troy Cummings spent all his time writing stories, drawing pictures, and keeping an eye out for monsters. As a grown-up, he pretty much does the same thing. Except now his bed time is 9:15.

 

Troy has written and illustrated more than forty children's books, including THE NOTEBOOK OF DOOM  series, THE BINDER OF DOOM series, CAN I BE YOUR DOG?, and THE EENSY WEENSY SPIDER FREAKS OUT (BIG-TIME!). He has also illustrated books by other authors, including CARING FOR YOUR LION (by Tammi Sauer), LITTLE RED GLIDING HOOD (by Tara Lazar), MIGHTY TRUCK (by Chris Barton), and VROOM VROOM GARBAGE TRUCK (by Asia Citro).

 

His illustrations have appeared in newspapers, magazine, greeting cards, board games, jigsaw puzzles, a French opera, and on the back of a box of fish sticks.

 

Troy Cummings lives in Indiana, where he steals jokes from his kids, cats, and hamsters. For more information, visit https://www.troycummings.net/.

 

Troy will be signing books purchased through PTA. Book order coming soon!
