I had the best time at the Children’s Book Festival in Johnstown, PA! It was wonderful to see the reaction of kids, parents and teachers as they learned about “The Dream Keepers.” Many thanks to everyone involved in this very fun event! #illustration #kidlit #bookfestival

Fellow #authors and #illustrators, do you have a favorite memory from a #school visit? During this recent in-person presentation, a cyber student watched the program from home and showed us an awesome drawing of her own Dream Keepers! 🤩🥲 (pic shared with permissions) #kidlit

A hot day and a little water, one of the simple pleasures in life. 🌞 #illustration #kidlitart #ChildrensBooks

More innovation from Hyland’s - Kids Organic Elderberry Plus Gummies! Not only am I proud to create illustrations for this brand, but I also absolutely love working with the great people at Hyland’s. 🙏🏻 #illustration #Packaging

I had the best time at school presentations last month, with my book "The Dream Keepers." The main characters “Happy Thoughts” and “Hard Work” inspire a growth mindset in the students, but I find the kids' enthusiasm is so inspiring to me! (Photo shared with permission) #kidlit

Anyone as excited as me for back to school? These photos are from a presentation at Trinity West last spring. The kids were enthusiastic, courteous and clever! The drawing demos were so fun with their ideas. #backtoschool #authorvisit #schoolvisit #illustrator #growthmindset

I had a great time at this recent school visit! I loved how our Happy Thoughts and Hard Work volunteers played their roles! They really brought their own personalities to the parts!
