Author & Illustrator
The storyteller behind Mr Books
Billy J. McCullough is the author and illustrator of the Mr Books picture books, a series he created to give young readers stories that feel like a warm hello. He writes every word and draws every page himself, so the voice and the pictures always belong to the same imagination.
His three picture books each open a different door. In the alphabet tree, letters grow like leaves and turn learning to read into a climb worth taking. In the dream to read, a bedtime wish becomes a gentle lesson in patience and practice. And at the firehouse, a brave crew shows what it means to help your neighbors. Different adventures, one friendly world.
Billy's illustration style is bright, bold, and built for togetherness: saturated primary colors, rounded shapes, and characters with expressions that invite a child to point and giggle. He designs each spread to be read out loud — clear enough for a first reader, rich enough to reward the hundredth re-read.
Mr Books is more than a shop to him. It is a promise that storytime should be joyful, that young readers deserve real craft, and that a good picture book can become a memory a family keeps.
