About Grant

Grant Snider began writing and drawing as a kid, creating pictures, poems, and stories from his imagination—often in collaboration with his twin brother, Gavin. His favorite books of poetry were Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein and Sing a Song of Popcorn: Every Child’s Book of Poems.

In college Grant began drawing comics for the student newspaper at the University of Kansas. After college he started a weekly online comic strip, Incidental Comics, online. Soon it gained a worldwide audience. Incidental Comics has been featured in the Best American Comics anthology and collected in the books The Shape of Ideas, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf, The Art of Living, and Thinking About Thinking.

His book Poetry Comics was named a 2025 ALA Notable Book, a Kirkus Best Book of 2024, a 2025 NEA Read Across America selection, and a USA Today Bestseller.

Grant is the author of the picture books Nothing Ever Happens on a Gray Day, One Boy Watching, What Color Is Night?, What Sound Is Morning?, and My Words.

Grant lives with his wife and kids in Wichita, Kansas, where he works a day job as an orthodontist. His hobbies include cooking breakfast, reading, running, drawing, and redrawing.
