Calling all Atlanta science lovers!
Tonight I'll be hosting activities for kids at a free event at the Fernbank Museum as part of the Atlanta Science Festival.
Kids can write to NASA’s Artemis II Astronauts and launch their own paper rocket to the Moon.

I primarily work digitally on an iPad Pro using @procreate.com and brushes from @retrosupply.bsky.social and @truegrittexture.bsky.social but for the early stages of story development, I find it easier to work with pencil in a sketchbook. Here's a look at what I keep in my pencil bag.
I start my stories by writing the manuscript. Around the time I was writing the 1st draft of Earth Rover, I started sketching dog characters in my sketchbook. The early sketches didn't look much like the final Rover at all. Once I settled on a Basset Hound, his character really started to develop.
Hi I'm Taylor Woolley, the author and illustrator of Earth Rover! This book has been YEARS in the making. Here's a peek into some of the early stages of Rovers' journey to publication.
Thanks 12x12! 🎉
Blast off with EARTH ROVER in stores now!

Rover the dog is convinced he would make a perfect lunar rover. He can handle any kind of terrain, he can dig up rock samples, and he’s even spaceship-trained!
