A young girl is smiling, she has a blue crayon tucked behind her ear with messy hair spilling around it, and a pink crayon in one hand. In the other hand she is holding a drawing of a baby. She is looking up at the title, "Adrienne's Dream: an IVF story" Digital illustration done in Clip Studio; text design and layout done in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop

I've been working with an author to tell the story of her IVF journey in a way that can help explain it to kids, and I just love seeing this sweet beautiful book coming together. I've finished the cover & the book is due for release this summer!

We loved Vanesa Josevski's review of the Maddi’s Fridge app!

"Max was instantly excited… he recognized it from school." He loved the animations and games.
Vanesa called it "a beautiful and important story" and Max gave it a huge thumbs up!

An illustration depicting a whimsical booknook scene. A mouse character balancing many books is at the center, surrounded by a grasshopper reading, two birds engrossed in a book, and a cheerful wyrm, a spider and ladybird. The backdrop features bookshelves and warm lighting, enhancing the cozy atmosphere.

Nasty loves the library and even more so when it rains. That’s when all her friends come to visit, to read and dream together. They light tiny lamps and dive into the pages of their favorite books.
