ABOUT US

We are Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr a writer/illustrator, husband/wife duo who live in a barn on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with our three small kids and a goofy blue dog.

Want to find out if your kid likes our books?

Grab your kid and pick a title from the list below. We generally say our picture books are for kids aged 3-7, but books are each different, and so is each kid. We picked these titles to give you a sense of the range of topics and styles and sensibilities you might expect from a year of Bobbledy.

Archipelago

Featuring such verbal confections as ‘bandicoot’ and ‘hornswoggle,’ this book celebrates the pleasure (and ease) of using long and wonderful words. Buy it HERE.

The Imaginary Dragon

A dragon named Bill wants nothing more than to be useful. Crippled by self-doubt, he goes on a journey to discover whether or not he is imaginary. Buy it HERE.

Even Ninjas Eat Asparagus
