Sea Turtles and Outer Space

I loved working on this art for Scholastic.  It accompanies a story about a young girl who is passionate about saving sea turtles, but who feels that she can't live up to the amazing things that her scientist/astronaut mother has done. It is an empowering story about following your passions and encourages girls to see themselves in careers in STEM.  I am so happy to have been able to illustrate this story and contribute to this positive message!

Merry Christmas!

 Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

"Sweet Child O' Mine"

The secret is finally out! This past year, I have been working with Guns & Roses and Jimmy Patterson press to illustrate "Sweet Child O' Mine." The book will be released in September 2020!  Definitely an exciting, once in a lifetime opportunity to illustrate the lyrics to such an iconic song!

"Something Happened In Our Town"

 

I am excited to announce that my newest title "Something Happened In Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice" will be released next week by Magination Press.  I hope that as children are asking questions about current events across the country, that this book's ultimate message of reaching out to our neighbors in friendship inspires children to be a light in the world. 

You Are Your Strong

 "Publisher's Weekly" recently announced my newest book deal with Magination Press!  Look for "You Are Your Strong" by Danielle Dufayet in the spring of 2019!

"Did You Hear" Dress-Up

As an illustrator, I just love it when kids feel a connection to the characters in my books.  The highest praise I could ever receive came today when Ania Kelly sent me this photo of her adorable daughter wearing a custom outfit and dressed up like Emma from my recent title "Did You Hear: A Story About Gossip."  I was absolutely floored!  She looks AMAZING!  Big hugs and a high five go out to this little girl for sending me this memory as we close out 2017!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

It is great to be able to work on holiday themed projects at this time of year.  They really put me in the holiday spirit.  I am so excited that "Total TV Guide" asked me to do their Christmas cover again this year! Here is the cover, on shelves now in the UK!
