School Day!

Signing my new book, Farmers' Market Day, for my buddy Nolan at Creative Discovery Preschool in Celina, Ohio.
What a great day! Parents, grandparents, and lots of kids!

I was seated next to Cookie Monster, Elmo and Dora - and although many kids were a bit reluctant to give these characters a hug, they did get brave enough for a high five or two.
Thanks Creative Discovery!

Found hanging out at Target with some of my other favorite children's book characters.
Yay!

This part of creating
art for children's books never gets old.

This is author Shanda Trents's first picture book. I am happy to bring her words to life!

Almost Done


Finished the interior art for a middle grade reader for

"The New Girl"

The book is a choose-your-own-ending story that teaches girls good choices about friendship and the acceptance of others.
It's a tough world for kids...every little bit helps!
