Picture books are my friends.
I collect them, I LOVE making them with kids, and now I’m creating interactive ones for the iPad & web. Picture books born digital, you might say. Stay tuned for our cross-media/transmedia adventures!
I've worked with some fantastic editors and art directors over the years too and illustrated over 25 picture books and written & illustrated 5, including the one I’m currently developing.
I'm published by the lovely folks at Candlewick Press, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Harper Collins Publishers, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Hyperion Books, Little Brown & Company, Penguin USA, Scholastic Book Club, Walker Books UK & others.
My characters are also licensed for fun stuff like board games, stickers, temporary tattoos, diaries, greeting cards, paper dolls, puzzles, DIY Activity Kits and tabletop designs for kids.
