About this Event
Phoenix Books Burlington is super excited to welcome award-winning Vermont author and illustrator James Kochalka back to our store for a story time and drawing lesson featuring his brand new book, Green Eggs and Ham Take a Hike!
Sam-I-Am's grumpy best pal Walter is missing out on the great big world but Sam-I-Am is determined to make sure he doesn't miss a thing! After all, that's what best friends are for.
Walter doesn't know what the big deal is—sure, it might be nice to have a green eggs and ham picnic on a hike, but doesn't Sam-I-Am know about all of the bugs? And the flowers that make you sneeze? Or the rivers that block your way? No, Walter is not a fan of the outdoors, he certainly is not. And nothing Sam-I-Am will do or say will change his mind. Too bad for Walter, Sam-I-Am is always up for a challenge!
James Kochalka (kah-chall-ka) has been creating iconic indie comics and bizzarely catchy punk rock since the early 80s. Largely autobiographical, Kochalka's cartoon expression of the world around him includes such real-life characters as his wife, children, cat, friends and colleagues, but always filtered through his own observations and flights of whimsy. In March 2011 he was declared the cartoonist laureate of Vermont, serving a term of three years. He is a two-time winner of the prestigious Eisner Award, four-time Ignatz Award, and a Harvey Award winner.
