Joel is one of those rare writers that helps me see the world with fresh eyes while being touched and/or laughing. He is not afraid to commit to see brand new projects to their completion, including challenges from completely new fields. I look forward to seeing all his future creations come to life.”

The Opportunity
Print Immortal
See publication"A boy in a tree looked out to the sea"
Thus begins The Opportunity, a 30-page illustrated allegory by Joel Ackerman with 22 pages of beautiful watercolor and ink illustrations by Ania Tomicka. The premise of the story is simple: a boy sits in a lone tree on a hill watching the horizon—for on that very day a legendary ship with golden sails, called the Opportunity, is set to arrive and take the boy abroad to make his fortune in life! But as that moment approaches, the boy is faced with…"A boy in a tree looked out to the sea"

But as that moment approaches, the boy is faced with uncertainty, doubts, and fears. While its story is simple and its themes—of chasing your dreams and choosing faith over fear—are familiar, the book is unique in its power to motivate.

The Faces in America's Mirror: A Mouse and a Frog
Americana, American Studies Journal
See publicationHow does a fifty-two-year-old frog or an eighty-year-old mouse remain in the foreground of American pop culture? Especially considering that neither Kermit the Frog nor Mickey Mouse actually exist. So, why do these two have such societal staying power? Because they reflect many of America’s most deeply rooted cultural values, and they operate as national examples of the American Dream.
