Todd Parr

Todd Parr (b. 1962) is a children's book author and illustrator who has written over 30 books. His work often addresses feelings and emotions while his art style features thickly-lined, child-like figures (often with smiley faces). Beginning in 2010, he has contributed animated segments to Sesame Street, the first of which adapted his The I'M NOT SCARED Book. The use of child voice-overs in the segments heightens the feeling of a child's perspective.

Parr's work/style had previously been adapted to animation as the TLC series ToddWorld.
