Energetic illustrations from @breanna_chambers_art keep readers coming back for more while brain breaks inspired by the @mindup program make space for them to pause and reset before continuing the adventure.

Our new little alien beamed down yesterday! 🛸👽 Meet Juno, the most talented well-adjusted babycat I’ve ever met. She’s already queen of the house. Get ready for nothing but cat photos on this page.
One of my all-time favorite covers - Crushing It comes out today! Super cute, complicated, messy, queer romance MG by debut author Erin Becker and edited by Elizabeth Lee. I got to work with the amazingly talented Ricardo Bessa on the jacket illustrations and he knocked it outta the park! Pick it up in your local bookstore today! /books/714164/crushing-it-by-erin-becker/
Way back in 2020, the incredible @rach.sonis and I started working together on Bigfoot and Nessie, written by the phenomenal @chelseamcampbell . We were over the moon when the stellar @lauraknetz agreed to illustrate the series, as we are all gigantic Bug Boys fans. (p.s. read bug boys.) She brought these little guys to LIFE right before our eyes. The indomitable Tess Stone joined on as our letterer soon after, and our ✨ DREAM TEAM ✨was complete.
Four years later and book one won an EISNER!!! at SDCC last night for best graphic novel for early readers!!!! I can’t believe it and honestly I’ve been teary since I woke up today.
This book has so much heart, and I’m so thankful for its success. None of this could have been possible without our incredible creative team. I love you all, and thank you so much for riding this train with me! GO TEAM BIGFOOT! 👣❤️
