AJ Smith specializes in silly stories and funny drawings for children (and immature adults). His next book, Tea Time For Dinosaurs hits bookstores in August, 2022.

AJ can often be working from his “portable popup studio” at a rotating list of local coffee shops a bit north of Boston. — where he lives with his family and a few furry friends.

When not scribbling and doodling, he enjoys books, movies, hockey, comedy, travel, hiking, and almost anything art-related.
