No idea why THIS IS A SEAHORSE has a prominent place at B&N 5 years after its release, but I am into it!
It was a pandemic release so it didn’t get many sales, but it was my first book to get multiple ⭐️ reviews and it won an award! (ILA Children’s and Young Adult Book Award.)

📦Unboxing my newest picture book GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT with my kiddo! There were some bumps along the way, like the cat food dispenser sounding off, but we pressed on and now I’m inclined to make this a tradition. What do you think—should we keep unboxing together?

🔱Aquamanatee is an Amazon Editor’s pick! This is the second book of the year for me that Amazon has highlighted and I’m so grateful! The first, Story Spinners, is a best book of 2025 as well! More eyes on our books means more kids reading and nothing makes me happier!

AQUAMANATEE marks the first time I said yes to illustrating someone else’s writing (yikes!). I was so worried about letting the author, Ben Clanton, down, but I think we made an adorable book with @dcoffical.bsky.social!

AQUAMANATEE comes out September 2nd!

Shoelaces aren’t tasty, right? Someone tell this guy when he gets out of the emergency vet. I hope he pukes it up like a champ 🙏
