12 yrs after my debut, after many rejections, I'm thrilled this new book is finally happening! Seeing my baby react to Eric Carle's books reminded me of the true power of children's stories. I poured that passion into my coming book. I hope it brings joy and laughter to families worldwide! #kidlit

Our thoughts are with the beautiful souls who departed 14 years ago today.
311 is the day Japan was struck by the tragedy of the earthquake.
My daughter came home with many plum blossoms in her pocket.
We are thankful for everyday life.
