This monstrosity has to be stopped. Kidlit folks, please do call. But everybody in literature should, too.

So excited to finally share this project cover! I've had the pleasure of illustrating this beautiful story following salamanders throughout the seasons and some creative kiddos who help them along the way.

Publishing with Tilbury House and releasing in March 🌿✨

Unapologetically excited to be able to make the most diverse, underrep’d, woke, loving, caring and hopeful #kidsbooks I can everyday. Flood the market with the books kids need most now. So proud of our team.

We had another fun and successful event at The Argus Farm Stop on Packard. We dissected tulips, learned about and drew their floral anatomy, talked about some native members of the Liliaceae Plant family, and had a great time. Send us a message on our website if you’d like to be invited to the next!
