I am so pleased to share the above announcement. My next picture book, SNOW DAY WITH DADDY, will be published by Christy Ottaviano Books in early 2028. This will be my fifth author/illustrator picture book! This is a story that I’ve been playing with off and on for several years. I am so thankful that my agent, Sean McCarthy, gave me a gentle nudge to work on it again. It’s inspired by my father’s winter work as a snow plow driver and the amazing snow piles he left for me in our yard at the end of a big storm.

Life is imitating art here in New England, as we’ve had a true snowy winter with no end of snow piles and new storms on the horizon. I’ll be working on this book for the first half of 2026, surrounded by snow for at least part of that time.

I’m also filling up my calendar with school visits, a local author fair, KidsCon in Nashua, and one more big fun event that has yet to be announced.

I’ll be sharing more insight to the new book on Doodle Mail - that’s my free, monthly author/illustrator newsletter. I share a new drawing sheet each month, event news, behind-the-scenes work, and more. I hope to see you there!
