On the eve of graduation, who should set out on his merry visit to achievers of all ages and levels but the jaunty Graduphant, soaring through the starry night sky in his trusty Model G! Follow the Graduphant on his jolly adventures as he helps spread good cheer and celebrate the special day, delivering gifts, certificates, ribbons, and a huge “Congratula-TONS!” to graduates across the globe. Whether he’s wearing a mortarboard, sporting a tam, or dropping off a teddy bear, the Graduphant is there to applaud hard workers and honor their achievements . . . and maybe enjoy an elephant-sized nibble of milk and cookies or microwave noodles along the way.

Designed to inspire, motivate, and encourage, this vibrant coloring and activity book makes a sweet, fun addition to all kinds of celebratory occasions and graduation settings. A Visit from the Graduphant: The Official Coloring and Activity Book features a variety of Graduphant coloring pages, puzzles, and art activities for kids and kids at heart. Anyone celebrating a milestone or successfully reaching a big goal can appreciate the Graduphant’s positive message of “Hooray, you did it!” Share a grin, reward hard work, reinforce personal improvement, or simply relish the happiness of overcoming an obstacle as you follow along on the delightful journey of the Graduphant. Happy Graduation!

Coming in 2027: Lucian and the Multiverse?

I’m excited to announce my upcoming book Sailing Close to the Clouds: Selected Worlds of Lucian of Samosata, arriving in 2027 from the University of Chicago Press!

Featuring eight new translations of Lucian's most world-bending works along with a reader-friendly introduction and short discussions, this volume tackles Lucian and the multiverse with appeal to layreaders, students, and seasoned scholars. We live in an age that is fascinated with alternative worlds, multi-dimensionality, constructs of “what if” and “what would have been.” The MCU and DCEU comic-book universes, The Matrix series, Stranger Things, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 3 Body Problem. The list goes on and on. What do all of these have to do with Lucian of Samosata from the second century? And where do classical or traditional readings of Lucian and the Second Sophistic meet virtual reality, narrative theory, fan fiction? I’m looking forward to helping readers take their own journeys to find out.

Thanks for reading! More to come.
