LOOK AT IT
Behold:
Pedro's dramatic range in this annotated collection of Pedro nonsense by Sylvia Baber--spanning his first online stories (Pedro's Blue Period), his first comic book in 2014, to recent digital adventures. This portfolio also includes a smattering of Pedro social content and a look back on the really early days (1996-2011).
Pedro the Frog stars in books*, short episodes like Pedro vs the Pudge published quarterly, and one-panel tidbits posted to social media every week.
*one so far
For more about Sylvia, and Pedro's super-dramatic origin story, see About Sylvia.
Sylvia's goals for Pedro are to eventually create digital and print "picture books for adults" * starring Pedro, as he presents his own take on fitness (Life by Pedro), mental health and resilience (Affirmations by Pedro, Pedro's Mental Health Toolkit), also, stories starring Pedro and his friends as they playact their way around Monaco and other expensive locations (Pedro and the Long Paw).
*Pedro also goes over really well with the middle school set for some reason, so, all the juicier drug references have been removed.
