Astound Agency’s John Joseph a #1 New York Times Bestseller!

Published on 06/05/2024

John Joseph Reaches Number 1 on the New York Times Best Seller List!

Astounding Artist, John Joseph stepped into some very renowned shoes earlier this year when he worked on Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s long awaited follow up in the Little Blue Truck picture book series – Good Night, Little Blue Truck. This third book comes 10 years after Blue was first published back in 2008.

John rose to the challenge of illustrating the book in the style of the late Jill McElmurry, the original artist, who sadly passed away in 2017. This series of books includes the franchise’s all time best seller -the board book edition of the first book Little Blue Truck. 

And it looks as though John’s work has paid off with it making No.1 on the NY Times Best Seller List! Congratulations John!
