children's book author & illustrator

I’m Rob Sayegh Jr., New York Times Bestselling author and illustrator. I create playful illustrations, silly stories, and heartwarming characters to make people of all ages smile. A former toy designer, I find inspiration for new stories by collecting vintage toys, exploring the streets of San Francisco, and falling in love with every dog I meet.

School Visits

I am available for both virtual and in-person school visits. I absolutely adore visiting schools and young readers for fun, interactive sessions about being an author and illustrator and discussing my books.

Each session is about 45 minutes to an hour, and I can do multiple sessions a day based on your school size. Each session includes an interactive activity of some kind, whether it be a drawing or story-building exercise as a group.

I believe in making school visits accessible and affordable for ALL schools and libraries, which is why I work via a “sliding scale” fee.

For more information about school visits, please contact me here.
