Good friend and occasional Muddy Colors contributor, Adam Rex, is well known for not just his illustrations and best selling children’s books, but for his novel ‘The True Meaning of Smekday‘ as well.

But did you know that Dreamworks is in the process of adapting Adam’s book into a film?

In fact, not only are they well underway on the feature-length film, but they just released a short film based on it as well! The film, entitled ‘Almost Home’ can be viewed below.

All of here at Muddy Colors are extremely proud of Adam’s success, and consider it an honor to call him our friend.
