“A story that encourages exploration and finding oneself along the journey.” — Kirkus
Socks come in twos, snuggled up in your shoes. At night they sleep tight, matching pairs in a row. Until—wait a minute! Oh no! WHERE DID BLUE SOCK GO?
After its twin doesn’t come back from the wash, Blue Sock decides it wants to explore the great big world outside of its drawer. Just like you, there are so many things a sock can do when given the chance to try something new!
In his debut picture book, Sock on the Loose, author-illustrator Conor McGlauflin takes you on a fun, sock-filled adventure about finding yourself…and making your way back home again.
Conor lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Hannah, and their daughter, Frida. Sock on the Loose is Conor’s first book.
When he’s not making picture books, Conor is the Design Lead for an automation and machine learning team at Spotify. He also teaches product design at the New School in New York City.
Previously, Conor was VP of Design at Codecademy. He received his BFA in industrial design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
To be published by MacMillan/Roaring Book in February 2021.
