EEK my picture book SAMMY & SUNNY’S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, written by Nina LaCour, will be coming out July 2025. I loved drawing all these dogs! This book is bright and warm and so funny. I’m so proud of it!

i’m writing & sketching a new draft of a PB story i started in 2014 about a goose and a turtle that are best friends. this is the 5th reworked draft I’ve done over all these years. it’s SO HARD to keep going when it doesn’t come together. but i still love Goose and Turtle so i keep trying 🪿🐢❤️
