Book two comes out five months from today! Here's Sy leaping off the diving board. He's got style.

Happy Monday! If you've read Operation: Cover-Up, first off, thank you! And second off, please consider rating/reviewing it on Goodreads or other platforms. It helps a ton!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! Sad to say I've never driven a tractor before. I also don't live in a mushroom house, but we all can dream.

As you can see, Nick has pretty impressive hops. He is a bunny, after all. Hope you all have a great Friday!

Summer vibes ☀︎༄.° #kidlitart

Today I got to visit a summer camp thanks to a local organization called Chatham Reads. I had a great time talking to the kids about graphic novels and storytelling, and one of the campers was kind enough to give me these cards. It's days like today when I feel lucky to be a #kidsauthor!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm an illustrator and cartoonist who loves drawing fun stories for young and reluctant readers. I'm also sad to say I've never gone kite surfing. Hopefully one day!

Also have to thank my awesome publisher, @andrewsmcmeelkids.bsky.social for making this possible!

I'll be attending the ALA Annual Conference at the end of this month! On Monday the 30th at 9:30 I'll be joining a panel discussing humor in graphic novels in booth 2062, and I'll be signing copies of Operation: Cover-Up at 11 in booth 414.
If you'll be there, I hope we can meet. Super excited!
