New Season, New Events.

Happy Fall!

I'm pleased to announce that Every-Day Dress-Up comes out on October 11! In this book, the heroine ditches her princess duds in favor of costumes inspired by real women.

Kirkus Reviews calls it, "a happy antidote to the princess plague". I'm so excited about this book that I both wrote and illustrated, my first since, 'I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother'.
