EXCITING NEWS! After a long journey, the story is finally written, and now it’s becoming a book!

This book is a call to action for a generation growing up in an increasingly polarized world: to see beyond appearances, and to choose connection over judgment.

Thank you @kterrette.bsky.social! ❤️

My peace I give to you. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! (John 14:27) Does anyone else see a dove? #Dove #DoveShapedCloud #GodsPeace #NoAi

I actually signed the contract with an e- signature but I had to print out a copy and have a photo taken to commemorate the day of signing a new contract on a new book! Details to follow soon. #kidlit #picturebook

Coloring books are back on my mind! Winter is the perfect time to get cozy inside with a little creative relaxation.

Every November, I re-live one of my favorite moments in my publishing career. This was at a Barnes and Noble, but The Gift Shop Bear is still available online internationally or can be ordered wherever books are sold. I especially love my biggest fan, my husband! 😘

Stay until the end to see the full color art! I have two new children’s books publishing in 2026, so be sure to follow the journey! #kidlit #childrensbooks #author #illustrator #kidsbooks #kidlitart

Same author, different illustrators. Many will recognize the book on the right. Good Night Moon, written by Margaret Wise Brown. But did you know she also wrote the book on the left? And I illustrated it! Only $7.99! On Christmas Day is available at www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/marga....

Have you picked up your copy of The Gift Shop Bear yet? I just saw there are only 3 copies left on Amazon! Oh dear! But you can also get a copy wherever books are sold, although you may need to ask them to order one for you. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/phyll...

I just realized I put the incorrect hashtag for the November #kidlitartpostcard day! Trying this again even if it’s late.

Hello there, little one. I love it when I start to see a character beginning to develop and take shape. It’s like magic. 💫

Inspired by a beautiful Claude Monet painting, a little artist decides to create her own masterpiece, but her puppy has other ideas.

Just under 8 months until CLAUDE unveils his masterpiece!

One of my favorite things in creating art is light. ✨Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. #positivitypost #kidlitart
