"I am Spy Boy and I say, 'Bow wow!'" It is eight-year-old Spy Boy's first Mardi Gras masking as an Indian. His dad, Big Chief, and everyone else in the tribe make suits in almost every color-including Goldenrod and Granny Smith Apple-just like the colors in Spy Boy's crayon box. Mardi Gras is when all the Indians show off their suits. Everyone wants to be the most magnificent. Everywhere Spy Boy looks, he sees feathers, beads, people, and colors. Everyone is transformed on Mardi Gras Day! Spy Boy's suit is white like his dog Cheyenne. Cheyenne had to go be with the Great Spirit, but he's still Spy Boy's spirit guide. Spy Boy is brave and proud. He also has a big responsibility: to walk ahead of everyone and look out for other Indian tribes. Then, Spy Boy must wave back to Flag Man, who signals to the rest of the tribe. But when Spy Boy looks back, he can't see his tribe. In fact, he doesn't even know where he is! It is up to Spy Boy to use the lessons Big Chief taught him to find his way back to his family and join his fellow Indians in their celebration. Author and illustrator Rob Owen received his BFA from Loyola University in New Orleans. He studied writing, graphic design, and many art forms, including drawing, photography, videography, and painting. Owen has worked as a graphic designer and professional artist for many years. A lifelong southerner who has lived in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina, Owen has always had an affinity for art and storytelling. He has been fascinated by the people and culture of New Orleans since moving to the city in high school. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Owen was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme cancer. As he struggled against the typically fatal disease, he explored art and writing as a means of acceptance and emotional healing. Owen is one of the rare survivors of this cancer. This is Owen's first book. Illustrator Edie Owen is Rob Owen's daughter and a native New Orleanian. Her joyful curiosity and adeptness with her own ninety-six crayons were part of the inspiration for this story.
