Matt's Children's Collection

Three Fully Illustrated Children's Books

Going Home — book cover illustration by Matt Haag

Going Home

“He soon entered the city, cheerfully clapping, clueless to all the mad people passing. Seeing strange signs all scattered about, he soon picked a good one, heading down with a shout!”— Matt Haag, Going Home

“CUTE book! The writing is rhythmic and enjoyable. While it's not written in stanzas or lines, the poetry is apparent and the rhymes present. The artwork has a really pleasing aesthetic, and the message (which is a good one) is equal parts home/family, honest labor, non-materialistic.”

— Amazon user

“This children's book has it all. The illustrations are phenomenal. The storyline is uplifting. Definitely a great buy for young kids.”

— Bandit, Amazon

“Loved the theme of the book and how clever the wording was! The artwork was amazing and unique.”

— Jyl Marsden, Amazon

Available on Amazon.

Pickles for Dessert — book cover illustration by Matt Haag

Pickles for Dessert

“Ice cream is infinitely better, it is true. Cake isn't interesting, it's icky, like glue! It's inflicts, it's itchy, it injures my inwards. It invades, it imposes, it infects those fowl sinners.”

The king would go on in an anti-cake rage, until the whole kingdom was mad, every age.— Matt Haag, Pickles for Dessert

Available on Amazon.

How to Become a Space Pirate — book cover illustration by Matt Haag

How to Become a Space Pirate

“Mr. Grugger looked back to the fight, 'What's the point of the match?' The pirate next to him reeled back, 'To get the other looking as ridiculous as you can of course!' … Dodging another pair of boots, he jumped high into the air. From the compartment in his belly he pulled out a yellow dress. His arms detached and zoomed towards the cyborg. It was almost too much to bare!”— Matt Haag, How to Become a Space Pirate
