The First Cat In Space Ate Pizza is a sci-fi series created by two children's book creators: author Mac Barnett and author/illustrator Shawn Harris. The project began as a segment called Live Cartoons for Mac's hit shelter-in-place Instagram show, Mac's Book Club Show. The cartoons are filmed and voiced live over a video call, and combine the craft of picture books, puppetry, comics, and traditional animation. Mac is a New York Times-bestselling author. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide. Mac’s picture books include two Caldecott-Honor-winning collaborations with Jon Klassen: Sam & Dave Dig a Hole, which also won the E.B White Read-Aloud Award, and Extra Yarn, which won both the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award. Shawn's first illustrated book Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers got seven starred reviews, was an Orbis Pictus Award Honor Book, an ALA Notable, and a PW Best Book of the year.
