Street magic performer. Hog-calling champion. Award-winning ice sculptor. These are all things Tara Lazar has never been. Instead, she writes quirky, humorous picture books featuring magical places that everyone will want to visit.
Her debut picture book, THE MONSTORE, is available now from Aladdin/Simon & Schuster. Her other books coming soon are:
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BEAR BOOK (Aladdin/S&S, Aug 2015)
LITTLE RED GLIDING HOOD (Random House Children’s, Oct 2015)
NORMAL NORMAN (Sterling, March 2016)
WAY PAST BEDTIME (Aladdin/S&S, Fall 2016)
7 ATE 9: THE UNTOLD STORY (Disney*Hyperion, 2017)
Tara is represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
Her last name rhymes with “bazaar”—you can listen to Tara pronounce her name on TeachingBooks.net. She’s not Tara Laser-beam (although that would be awesome).
