His children’s books have been called “brilliant” by Dave Pilkey, "thrillingly shameless" by the New York Times, "guaranteed to fuel read aloud energy" by Publisher's Weekly and have won awards and distinctions such as the Virginia Reader’s Choice Award (YOU MUST BE THIS TALL), YALSA Reader’s Choice (TO TIMBUKTU), the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection (ASTRONUTS: MISSION ONE and THE MIDDLE KID), The Today Show’s Holiday Pick (BIG JOB SERIES), and Parents Magazine Best Children’s Book 2021 (WASHER & DRYER’S BIG JOB).

The fish have been featured on the cover of Thomas McGuane’s fly fishing classic THE LONGEST SILENCE, on West Kill Brewing’s “Brookie” lager, in Gray’s Sporting Journal, and are on display at Jimmy Kimmel’s fishing resort The South Fork Lodge.
