Due to the interest in another printing, this is a PRE-ORDER for another edition, which will be open for a week, and then there will be an 8 week wait for books to be printed here in Washington, sorry for the long wait but it’s important for me to have them made locally. After that I’ll begin shipping them in early May.

Childens’ book based on the late 19th century hobo song “The Big Rock Candy Mountain”.

When the lyrics became public domain, I decided to illustrate as an homage to my grandpa, who would play and sing the song to me growing up.

This is the 5th printing of 300, 46 pages long and hardbound with a matte finish cover. Originally published in 2021 with an expensive cloth cover and gold embossing, I wanted to make this edition a little more sturdy and something you can actually let a kid handle. I actually like this new cover better, as it reflects more of the aesthetic of library books from the 30’s to 50’s that first inspired my love of illustration.

Just a note about shipping, all my other products are prints that come rolled in a cardboard tube, so this needs to ship separately. If you order a print and a book, they will arrive separately.
