Working with young children as an art educator I've been struck by just how early they can start comparing themselves negatively to others. I wanted to gently explore this topic in picture book format with an accessible main character. I've been fascinated by the Galapagos Islands for some time and settled on the delightful Blue-footed booby to help tell my story.

I've just completed an illustration for THE WORLD OF MINDFULNESS Pajama Press - October 2020. A collection of 14 original artworks paired with meditative text to provide moments of quiet for young readers. Next I'm working on a NF narrative story about a female scientist for MG readers.

I remind myself that it will eventually pass and I continue to write down all the ideas that pop into my head. Solitary walks are my go-to to help get my creative brain flowing.
