Join us for a fun-filled evening with Dan Santat, author and illustrator of the new graphic novel series Sashimi, in conversation with KUAF's Matthew Moore.

Perfect for fans of Dogman and Investigators, Sashimi follows the hijinks of a half fish, half boy. Dav Pilkey calls it "a hilarious and beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, adventure and mystery." 

 

Two Friends Bookstore will be on site selling additional copies of Santat's books.

 

Dan Santat is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of over a hundred books. His picture book The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend received the Caldecott Medal and he was awarded the National Book Award for Young People's Literature for A First Time for Everything. He also illustrated The Blur, Lift, and Drawn Together, all written by Minh Lê, and is the creator of the Disney animated hit The Replacements.
