Emerging talent Ross Burach taps into one of the most universal of all gestures — the hi-five — with his offbeat silliness.
What's the best way to say hello to anyone you meet? A handshake? Too formal! A hug? Too scary! The answer is a hi-five, of course!

Raves & reviews:
Praise for Truck Full of Ducks, by Ross Burach:
"Burach will have readers quacking up, both with the frequent repetition of the title — 'Did you call for a truck full of ducks?' is a funny line no matter how often it's read or heard — and over the illustrations. Sight gags and side comments in the pictures add further yuks to this ducky delight." — Booklist
"Children will delight in the extreme silliness of this story and will repeatedly pore over the detailed, colorful, and quirky illustrations." -- School Library Journal
"Burach tells his story entirely through dialogue, packing it -- and his exuberant, crayon-like digital illustrations -- with visual jokes [and an abundance of funny details to discover in each scene." -- Publishers Weekly
"Silly details decorate every spread. Storytime audiences will quack up." — Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Billy Bloo Is Stuck in Goo, illustrated by Ross Burach:
2018 CBC Children's & Teen Choice Book Awards Finalist
"Begs to be read aloud. Gleeful, errant nonsense." — Kirkus Reviews
"Plenty to linger (and laugh) over." — Publishers Weekly
"Lots of giggles and goo, and weird characters too, in this rhyming cumulative storytime read-aloud, make this title a must-have for picture book collections." — School Library Journal
