John Joseph: Hi, my name is John Joseph, and it's a bit of a pseudonym. My first name is actually John, but my last name isn't Joseph. That's actually my middle name. And so as an elementary school art teacher, sometimes I show the kids the books as I've finished them up and they are confused and they say, "Wait, that doesn't say Mr. B on it." And so I get to explain to them what a pseudonym is and talk to them about how sometimes artists and illustrators use different names.
