Two summer releases this year, both great back-to-school books. One a counting nursery rhyme and the other an ABC book in lyrical verse.
Over in the Mangroves released July 15.
Booklist calls it “An adorable, engaging read-aloud that introduces young readers to environmental conservation and its importance for everyone.”
Kirkus says it is “sweetly informative. A fun spin on the popular counting rhyme “Over in the Meadow.”
Join me at Books of Wonder on August 9th for story time and signing.
The Power of Your Name releases Aug 26.
Kirkus calls it “Bolstering and affirming. An ABC book that celebrates that sweetest of sounds: your name.”
Save the Date - Aug 28, 6:30 pm at Books of Wonder - for the Launch PARTY!
And a podcast launched.
The first three episodes of In The Picture are now available on Spotify and Apple Podcast.
I talk with Nabi H. Ali, Dow Phumiruk and Lynnor Bontigao about their journey to illustrating picture books, the best money they ever spent for their craft, tips for those who want to illustrate and so much more.
I’m not releasing episodes on a regular schedule but I’ll have two more episodes out sometime later in August featuring Brian LaRossa, Executive Art Director at Scholastic and Svabhu Kohli, visual artist and illustrator of Desert Queen.

If you have read my books and like them, do take a minute to review them on Amazon and/or request them for your local public library or school library. Authors need all the help they can get to spread the word and that Amazon algorithm needs the reviews to make us pop up on searches!
