It's #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m an author and illustrator who enjoys crafting charming children’s illustrations and drafting delightful and engaging stories about quirky kids. I am seeking representation from an Agent, the eyes of an Art Director, and/or the attention of an Editor. berrietr.com
Get ready for more sweetness, silliness, and speech bubbles in Bella & Blue Two: A Postcard from Paris (Little Press Publishing) to arrive spring of 2027. Join Bella as she finds ways to navigate her feelings and find the best route for coping with her fear of flying.

“Quack” Thanks you for the book love!
So much fun to see @berrietr.bsky.social 's book Just Ducky is the highest rated on Goodreads out of all the books I read this year! A well-deserved accolade for a super sweet (and delightfully quirky) read-aloud.

It’s been a year full of creativity and hard work this past year. I traveled to Kansas and Denver for book and speaking events. My pb Just Ducky was launched in October with book events in and around Philly and I’m working on the dummy for Superhero Nero. @cardinalrulepress @thelittlepress
