Praise for the 1st Edition:
"This was a cute and entertaining book that immerses the reader in the life and remarkable imagination of an 8-year-old's daily adventures. The author, who is also the illustrator, enhances the narrative through beautiful illustrated stories that resonate with everyone at some point in their lives. With original and amazing illustrations, this book is a delightful read for all. I especially recommend it for children who are more introverted, have a passion for science fiction, and are curious about exploring the galaxy. It's a wonderful addition to any collection of children's books."

WHEN INSPIRATION DISAPPEARS...
Follow author/illustrator Mike Ivy's 8-year-old self in another round of adventures and artistic meltdowns within the realm of children's books.
After completing the first epic issue of his comic book, Space Dog, My 8-Year-Old Self is ready to create something even bigger and better.
There's just one problem:
HE CAN'T.
None of his ideas feel good enough. None of his drawings come out right. Is this the end of his comic book career before it even begins?
Between battling the minions of the evil Megalomaniac, executing top-secret Halloween candy operations, and taking strategic cookie breaks, My 8-Year-Old Self must face his greatest enemy yet:
The dreaded SOPHOMORE SLUMP.
But there is that upcoming field trip to the art museum...
This humorous and heartfelt illustrated story delves into creativity, self-doubt, and the power of perseverance—perfect for young creators, lifelong geeks, and anyone who has ever stared at a blank page and wondered,
"NOW WHAT?"
