Peanut, Butter, & Crackers in the UK!

I’m happy to announce all three of the books in the Peanut, Butter, & Crackers kidlit graphic novel series are now available for UK readers thanks to publisher Nosy Crow!

I enjoyed revisiting these characters and expanding their stories a bit. Not only do these editions have new covers, which I love, but they have lots of extra fun content, including a new eight-page comic in each.

It’s also been really exciting to see how young readers in the UK have been reacting to these editions of Peanut, Butter, & Crackers. Here is some of the media coverage we’ve received. Including a wonderful review on the BBC’s audio channel by a young reader and now a new fan.

It’s also been really awesome to see copies of Peanut, Butter, & Crackers in the wild in different parts of the UK – including London and Dublin!


Thanks for all of your support during this awesome journey. Just the other day, I saw an Instagram post from a reviewer in Thailand. Wonder what part of the world Peanut, Butter, & Crackers will be next 🙂

Why We Love Graphic Novels

I wrote a guest blog post for Teen Librarian Toolbox at School Library Journal on a topic dear to my heart: graphic novels 🥰

Graphic novels transport us to subjects we may never have delved into if it weren’t for the captivating drawings and the often deeply personal storylines.

Happy Birthday, ON THE TRAIL!

Author Paige Braddock with book, ON THE TRAIL

Did you ever notice that sometimes, art imitates life? And at other times, life imitates art? How about art and life imitating each other at the same time? I think that’s what happened to me!


After the first two stories featuring our fur babies, Peanut, Butter, and Crackers, I
thought it would be funny to write an adventure. It seemed like a good idea to take these
characters on a road trip to a place outside their comfort zone. A camping trip seemed
like a fun idea. I love camping. And what better way to get to the campground than in a
camper van.

Funny thing is, when I first began to work on this book, I didn’t own a camper van. But at
some point, it seemed like a fine idea, and we got one. Maybe this story inspired me to
try the adventure I was percolating in my head for Peanut, Butter, and Crackers, in the
real world?

Not long after getting our camper van, which we affectionately call Leonard, we loaded
our fur family up and took a drive from California to Georgia. And then, after a few
weeks, we turned around and did it again!

It soon became apparent that our dogs, Buddy Barker and Charlie, seemed to enjoy the
road trip much more than our cat, Otis. Thankfully only once did we have to rent a cabin
along the way to give Otis some space. Valuable lesson learned: Cats like to have their
own space. Duly noted!

Thankfully what my imagination ultimately conjured up as adventure in ON THE TRAIL
did not come to pass in real life! Reality was enough adventure for all of us!

ON THE TRAIL is about home and all the places we find it. I hope you enjoy the third installment of the Peanut, Butter, & Crackers series.
