Check out this gorgeous cover reveal!
COVER REVEAL TIME! ✨🏠
I’m over the moon to finally share the cover of A House in My Barrio, a picture book written by me and illustrated by the incredibly talented Olivia Sua.
I’m deeply grateful to my editor, Mark Podesta, and to my amazing agent, Jen Rofé, for her constant support
and guidance.

I’m thrilled to have my book celebrated among these fall releases. It’s great timing because monarch butterflies are leaving Point Pelée at this time of year to start their migration. The book is about all types of butterflies and the flowers that sustain them. It’s narrative NF. Pub date Dec 15!

Wow!!! Thanks to @picturebookseh.bsky.social & @canscaip.bsky.social for a fantastic event. Each creator read their book & between each book we all had 2 min to take notes or write/post reviews, text chat etc. Brilliant format. And thanks to Jadea Kelly for performing at the end! #KidLit #CanKidLit
