Since that rather promising start, Krosoczka has published 18 picture books and graphic novels for children, including the much-loved Lunch Lady series, which is a two-time winner of the Children's Choice Book Award. Krosoczka hosts The Book Report with JJK on Sirius XM's Kids Place Live, a radio show about books aimed at kids 10 and younger. In 2010, he founded the Joseph and Shirley Krosoczka Memorial Youth Scholarships at Worcester Art Museum, to fund classes for young and underprivileged aspiring artists.
