Children’s
Books
When I was a kid, I read all the time, poring over every detail of the pictures and absorbing language and ideas (and drawing skills!). Books helped me build empathy. They gave words to my thoughts and invited me to dream bigger. Books gave me imaginary worlds to escape to when things felt too much. Now, as a grown-up, I get to make pictures for books. It’s not a job I take lightly. It is an honor and a privilege. I make books now in the hopes that one kid peeking under that cover will fall in love with reading and with pictures, too.
My newest book, Thank You, Day! is now available in bookstores everywhere!
Let’s hear it for the day, you all! With heartfelt feeling and joy, a kid gives kudos and kisses, hugs and high fives, shout-outs and simple thanks to everyday wonders in this sweet ode to slowing down, being present, and paying attention to the world around us.
The Perfect Tree
Bunny is looking for the perfect Christmas tree. She talks to many friends with ideas, and she looks high and low. But sometimes the perfect tree is the one surrounded by friends.
The Good Song
Inspired by the medley of the classic songs “Over the Rainbow” and “What a Wonderful World” sung by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole, the good song is aloha—love.
Max Attacks
Max is a cat. He attacks. From socks to strings to many a fish, attacking, for Max, is most de-lish. But how many of these things can he actually catch? Well, let’s just say it’s no even match.
Chat Chat
In charming rhyming text, kids learn how to read a cat’s body language and what their cat might be trying to tell them through tail waves, ear twitches, meows and more!
Crocodiles Need Kisses Too
Just like me and just like you, crocodiles need kisses too. Fun-to-read-aloud, Crocodiles Need Kisses Too shows that you don't have to be warm and fuzzy to be totally lovable.
Puppy Talk
‘Let’s go and play’ dog or ‘had a bad day’ dog? Learn exactly what your favorite canine is trying to tell you in this friendly and funny first board book about dog and puppy body language!
