His movements are quite slow,
He yawns and munches all night long,
He cannot swim, you know!"

I’ve been on here for a bit, but I’ve been easing into this new space.

I thought I’d start off my first post with an introduction! I’m a #kidlit writer & I LOVE writing picture books that are spooky, weird, and funny. Sometimes all in the same story…sometimes not. Excited to get to know everyone!
