I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and projects that let me show a range of emotions.

Looking forward to Paul Coccia's upcoming debut #picturebook next month: The Bear Fairy. #kidlit #cankidlit 👇🏻
I know Paul Coccia's debut #picturebook doesn't come out until Feb but THE BEAR FAIRY (illus by @fredblunt.bsky.social) is too important (and adorable) to wait. From Tundra Books (PRH Canada). Can a pudgy, hairy fairy break stereotypes? YES! canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-... 👍🇨🇦📚

Another picture book project from 2025 originated from an album cover for a song "A Broken Crayon" by Jamison Statema/Go Fish Resources. The lyrics are now an illustrated picture book and a live stage production.

This is the second picture book project of 2025. It was a quick turn around. I found out that I work better under pressure and I think it shows. A great book about having a nap. Super fit for grandparents and parents. @cormorantbooks.bsky.social #KidLitArt #KidLit #illustration
