I’ve migrated my newsletter over to Substack where we can chat in the comments! I will post updates on books and thoughts on nature and little things in general - all written from my tiny studio, which is why I have aptly named the newsletter “A Tiny Room.”

In my latest post I give you a little tour of my studio and talk about my inspiration behind this illustration. I painted it in color, but I ended up liking it in black and white. What do you think?

Robin and the Stick is the first installment from Robin’s World, a small series featuring Robin (who is always just “Robin” - no pronouns in sight.) These books are a huggable 7 inches square, and feature a muted grayscale palette with Robin being the one POP of color. I’m biased, but I think Robin is a truly special little package❤️

A big thanks to author & illustrator @ebgoodale for stopping by recently and signing a stack of her books! Did you know she grew up in Reading?? We are loving her latest picture book, Robin and the Stick, and can't wait for the follow up, Robin and the Moon, coming out in October!
EB will be joining us for a special story time on Wednesday June 10th at 10:30am--stay tuned for more details!!

Hello just thought I’d share the most immaculate praise that I’ve heard yet for Robin and the Stick. This knocked the wind right out of me! Thank you @clarkiedoster !
.
Parents out there know the books that become a part of you- both the ones from your own childhood and the ones from our children’s. I knew I wanted Robin to be that way- a story and a friend that you feel has somehow always been there ❤️❤️❤️

Recap of some super fun school visits # 2❤️ These kiddos helped me celebrate Robin and the Stick the week of publication.

Thank you to the children’s house and lower elementary @harborlight_montessori ! I’m showing just one of several collaborative white board drawings we made together. I love how I can start with the same prompt and every single group of kids will always create a unique masterpiece! Also, I was incredibly impressed with the number and quality of questions that came my way! These kids are ready for a career in publishing 💪❤️

Reflecting on the launch party for Robin and the Stick that I held in my studio building- what a dream!
.
This party took a surprising amount of work to pull off, but I really wanted to welcome Robin to the world in a way that felt new, celebratory, and that focused on community and a sense of place. It was such a huge pleasure to be able to bring the public into the space where Robin became real.
.
Enormous thank you to @kylebphotog for these photos! Enormous thank you to my studio mates who supported and helped me pull it all off! Enormous thank you my friends, family and neighbors who showed up in red, ready to party 🎈 I’m endlessly grateful ❤️

Making this video was such a dream come true - getting to invite people into my studio and talk about these little books that I take very seriously.
.
The work of a toddler is the building block of humanity, as is the connection between parent and child. These are the ideas that saturate the Robin's World books.

Robin and the Stick is fresh out in the world! Robin and the Moon is available for preorder! Link in bio
