About the Book

The village of Pockinshook is in desperate trouble, and they need Jack the Puddle Jumper to save them in this funny story written by a 10-year-old author and illustrated by artists from Argentina, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, the United Kingdom, and the United States touching on important environmental themes.
Little Jack just wants to jump in puddles. But the village of Pockinshook has outlawed mischief. Children are expected to be quiet and neat and well-behaved.
But the village is in big trouble. The local river is drying up, and only puddle-jumping children can save it. Can little Jack show the village how to jump in puddles?
Kids will be pulling on their boots and finding their own puddles after reading author Thomas Key Maddox's heartfelt and humorous story. Coupled with child-friendly illustrations from artists from around the world, Jack the Puddle Jumper is more than an engaging story - it's an art book for kids that demonstrates accessible art genres ranging from line drawings to industrial design.
Maddox's book is perfect as a holiday gift for young artists and for fans of humorous books such as The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Sciezka and Lane Smith.

About the Author: Thomas Key Maddox, age 10, wrote and illustrated his first book, Jack the Puddle Jumper (2014), as a bedtime story for his younger brother Jack. "It didn't really help him fall asleep," said Thomas, "because after hearing it, he just wanted to go jump in puddles." Thomas started writing at a young age. "When I was little, whenever I got in trouble," said Thomas, "my dad made me go to my room to write stories. After a while, I started to get good at it." A Hyde Park Square Art Show award winner, Thomas also created illustrations and curated the multi-genre work of artists from Argentina, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, the United Kingdom, and the United States for the interior illustrations. "It was awesome to see how other artists brought Jack the Puddle Jumper to life," said Thomas. "The illustrations are an ingeniously whimsical mix of technical diagrams, line drawings, cartoons, and creative reimagining of advertising," says Professor Rimma Galyamova of the Pockinshook Art Institute. "Blah, blah, blah," says Thomas. "It's just cool art." Thomas Key Maddox lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his brothers Jack, Ben, and Roman.
