Meet the Cook Family

I spent 2 years as a K-5 teacher and 10 years as a 6-8 teacher. I started online teaching as a side hustle and fell in love.

The teacher community has supported me and helped me grow in so many ways. This corner of the internet is a place where I give back and support YOU. Tips, tricks, and resources you can use in your classroom tomorrow - this space is just for you.

I cannot wait to connect with you and hear your story. We are all in this together! Read my full teacher burnout story here.

I love to spread the word about online teaching by writing guest posts or doing podcast interviews with others in the online creative space:

- V.I.P.anda Janice Cook

- A Personal Focus on Level 2

- VIPKID Teacher Review

- VIPKID Guide

Have you noticed that I like to draw penguins? I’ve been drawing them since I was 9-years old. It was mostly doodling, until I started drawing digital versions with clothes in college. Despite my limited artistic ability at the time, my deep love of comics led me to eventually turn them into a comic strip. Since then, I’ve been focusing on developing my drawing abilities and have even learned to draw more than just penguins! My goal is to bring you high-quality hand-drawn resources that will bring a unique style to your classroom.

Outside of drawing, I keep busy in my day job as a librarian and hanging out with our kids. I have a college degree in clarinet performance, which never fails to confuse people when I mention it, and I love both nachos and Jurassic Park more than I probably should.

You can find me and the rest of my artwork on Twitter, Instagram, or on my website.

I hope that my artwork can spark conversation for your students and keep them engaged as they work.
