One foot in front of the other.

Big news!! Millie Fleur is at it again! Book 3 in the Millie Fleur series is publishing with Scholastic Fall 2026, with another super top secret title following in Spring 2028! I’m so thrilled this little character is going on another adventure and can’t wait for you to see what she gets up to next!

Proofs arrived today for my next, next picture book publishing fall 2025 with Simon & Schuster and I can’t wait to share the cover!

Tiny tidbit of something coming in 2025.

I have a bad case of pneumonia but I also have kittens. 🥰

So honored to be invited by Scholastic to share Millie Fleur’s Poison Garden at #liblearnx24 this weekend. I met the most amazing people and had the best time. Book people really are the best kind of people.

Who’s going to the #LibLearnX24 conference this weekend? I’m so excited to be presenting Millie Fleur to library professionals and children’s literature specialists. I can’t wait to share this wonderful little weirdo’s story. 🖤

Cover reveal!

Millie Fleur’s Poison Garden is about a little girl who tends to her marvelously strange garden, despite the townspeople calling it poison. This delightfully peculiar picture book is a reminder to embrace everything that makes us wonderfully weird. Coming Summer 2024 from Scholastic.

Felt something weird on my arm while I was working, looked down and remembered the toddler put these on me earlier and I’d been walking around with them all day.

Here’s what I’ve been working on lately. This character has absolutely consumed me and I’m not mad about it. 🖤🥀💀
