School Library Journal said lovely things about The Band of Bigs, book 2 in The League of Littles series: “The second book in this series comes out swinging...brings humor for all ages. Kids will be able to find themselves in the characters, as they not only range in age, but also race and gender.”

This career I’ve chosen is hard, with lots of ups and downs, and the only way through is to keep my head high, take one step at a time, breath, envision what I want, and Just. Keep. Going.

I have a NEW LOGO!! I’m keeping the general theme because it still feels like “me”. I’ve changed my business to “Studio” instead of “Illustration” because it’s shorter and I do more than just illustration! I was also encouraged to change my giraffe to a fox, which is my favorite animal. #kidlitart
