Super excited to announce my newest book, Autumn Soup, written by @jmebills.bsky.social ! 🍂🍁🧡 Big thank you to my agent, @charlottewenger.com ! #kidlit #kidlitillustrator #childrensillustrator

That is super clever!

Check out this fun challenge going on now!

Smart!

It looks amazing! Fun to see part of the process!

Happy #funnybookfriday :)! Today's IG shares are silly, toddler look-and-finds from the Gregory Goose is on the Loose series by Hilary Robinson and Mandy Stanley. So fun!

(And that is Ethel in the middle with a new raincoat I crocheted from a free pattern from Snappy Tots.)

This is AMAZING!

Congratulations to your daughter!

I entered the Valentiney contest and have my entry ready for #50PreciousWords. Feeling pretty good about that. :)

I love the way my critique partners understand the ups and downs of the writing journey. I'm also grateful for their helpful insights. One of my groups was formed by Hannah Holt (big thanks!) and the other I joined through an IG friendship//connection.

Happy Book Birthday!!!

So cute!

I just learned it is Unicorn Day! Can't let that pass me by without sharing a link to a list of some FABULOUS unicorn picture books:

If you want to write a cumulative story, add THE QUIET FOREST by @COffsay and @AbiCushman to your list of mentor texts. It's excellent.

It is also perfect for #funnybookfriday on IG. 💕

THE THREE CANADIAN PIGS (Watkinson/Cutler) is a fractured fairy tale with hockey & Canadian references sprinkled throughout.

It is creative and funny. If you have a little hockey player/fan, this story is a must. 🏒

Sending good vibes on Hedgehog Day for my story out on sub. 🙌

Pitch-
February 2nd is Groundhog Day and Hedgehog Day, but everyone celebrates the groundhog. Well, everyone except a couple of DISGRUNTLED HEDGEHOGS who are plotting a rodent revolution.

Today's #funnybookfriday highlight is SNOWFLAKES ON OUR TONGUES by Mike Ornstein & Pauline Gregory. Written in sing-song rhyme and full of farm animals with their tongues sticking out, it is hilarious.

I recently released my picks for Funniest PBs in 2023:
