Now and Then

Check out MB Artists' newest promotional catalog.  For this collection, we all created pieces themed "Now and Then".  My piece includes a cameo of my great grandfather.  Miss you Papa Mario!  Hope you all enjoy these beautiful illustrations as I and my fellow illustrators bring a little bit of nostalgia from memory lane to our pieces. 

"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!

Gold Medal

A big "Thank You!" goes out to the Mom's Choice Awards for awarding "Did You Hear: A Story About Gossip" with a gold medal!  Such exciting news to start off the week!

"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!

Total TV Guide

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!
