HENRY FINDS HIS WORD Book Launch Party!!

HENRY FINDS HIS WORD Cover & Jacket Release!

I know it has been a while since my last post, but I'm happy to say it is all because of new projects!  Currently I'm working on two new picture books, ROSCO VS. THE BABY with Simon & Schuster and THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THREE with Dial Books For Young Readers.  Both are scheduled for 2016!  I can't wait to share them with you when I can...but until then I'm very excited to release the cover and jacket art for my new picture book, HENRY FINDS HIS WORD, which will be released on February 24th, 2015.  I hope you love Henry as much as I do!  Happy Reading!

Please Bring Balloons Polar Bears!

One of my favorite things about working as an author/illustrator is seeing how kids respond to my books.  I received an email the other day from Miss Sara and the Kids at Storytime at a Barnes & Noble in Clay, New York, who recently read Please Bring Balloons during Polar Bear Day.  Check out the amazing artwork they created:

So cute!  I love the fuzz added to show the fur!

Thank you to Miss Sara and the Kids from Storytime for sharing!  I'm so thrilled that you loved Please Bring Balloons!
