I always have a few top secret projects in development. As soon as I’m allowed to share, I post about them here.

(More announcements coming soon!)

Inspector Quack and the Case of the Missing Underpants

This series is like if Amelia Bedelia starred in Knives Out as a duck who helps look for things (plus: butt jokes). I’m having endless cheeky fun creating it with the wonderful Heather Fox. We can’t wait for you to meet the lookers and finders at Quack Inspections! Hold on to your heinies: This is not a normal case of missing underpants…

From PW Children’s Bookshelf:

Liz Kossnar at Little, Brown has acquired world rights to Inspector Quack and the Case of the Missing Underpants and a second book in a new graphic chapter book series, Inspector Quack by Anica Mrose Rissi (l.), illustrated by Heather Fox, which follows the bumbling but lovable Chief Inspector Quack and her two Special Inspector Buns as they get to the bottom of various mysteries. Publication will begin in winter 2028; Michael Bourret at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret represented the author, and Elena Giovinazzo at Heirloom Literary represented the illustrator.
