Very excited to post the first look at my author illustrated book, ‘Margaret’s Unicorn’ published by the absolutely wonderful Schwartz and Wade Books! @randomhousekids 

Read a little more here: http://bit.ly/2UDARiv 

Publishing this year on the 15th September in the US!

‘Margaret’s Unicorn’ is a tale about a little girl who is sad to move home, but one day finds a baby unicorn, trapped and tangled in the weeds, left behind accidentally by his family for the winter. She takes him home to take care of him through the colder months, showing him how magical winter can be, and learning to love her new home herself.

I made an alphabet dog book since I love dogs so much and draw them all the time. I’ve always been obsessed with dogs but am unable to take care of one due to work and would prefer to be around him/her all the time. Dogs are pretty much what influences my life’s goals so in the meantime, I’m always preparing for the day when I get to take care of many furbabies.

If you have a furbaby, please share a photo :)

Enjoy this flip-through of our lovely, recently published book “The Flying Squirrel Stowaways”, available in our store now! http://bit.ly/2y04P1T #christmasbooks #picturebooks #childrensbooks #readlocal #novascotia (at Halifax, Nova Scotia)

OHMYGOSH LOOK what I got in the post today!! All the way from the amazing Chantal Bourgonje, her new book with David Hoskins published by @hubbleandhattie ‘The Lucky Lucky Leaf’! And OHMYGOSH LOOK AGAIN me & @suzannedore are on the dedications page!!! We’re both in a critique group with Ms. Bourgonje & we had the absolute honour to watch this lovely book develop. Really, truly, seeing my beloved friends create beautiful stories, polish them & work them as far as they can then share them with the world is just lifeblood to me, I can imagine no greater pleasure. I love our crit group. I love sharing the journey of being artists & writers & illustrators, & I love love LOVE supporting people & their work. I’m so honoured to be written into this book, I did a little cry I did!! This is what is all about for me - supporting other creators, walking together, holding each other up. I’m so proud! This book is beautiful. I’m working on a little something so I’ll have the chance to support more artists soon, too, so I hope some of you will join me! Also go buy this book ✨ I’m a little overwhelmed RN

Haven’t been posting much because I’ve been busy finishing my next book. Mary Wears What She Wants will be out early 2019. Proofs came in this week! 

I tried to draw two different things today and they both turned out less than stellar. So I’m just gonna work away at my studio wall and post this cover illustration for “Warts and All” because hey, who doesn’t need more hippos in their day?! #childrensillustration #childrensbooks #watercolor #wartsandall #puglife #pug #hippo #porcupine
