Abraham R. Chuzzlewit

Abraham R. Chuzzlewit is the slightly improbable name behind a growing collection of picture books for children—and the occasional grown-up who still knows how to laugh at ridiculous things.

According to family legend, Abraham is the dog in the photograph, with unusually strong opinions about bedtime stories, snacks, children, and the proper use of punctuation. In reality, Abraham R. Chuzzlewit is a playful children’s-book pen name created to let the stories—and sometimes the dogs—do the talking.

His books are warmhearted, mischievous, and often interested in the small moments when fear, kindness, curiosity, or complete chaos take over.

He is the author of BUMP! and Just Eat, Jonah!, with more trouble undoubtedly on the way.
