Creating art and stories for children
is a privilege and an honor. It's not just about the artwork itself, but the emotions and memories that it evokes. I believe that reading and storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to connect with others and to foster a love of learning.
I
invite you to explore my website, check out my bookstore, and take advantage of the free, fun resources I've made available. You can also look behind-the-scenes to see the illustration process.
Thank you for visiting!

"My 8-year-old daughter picked this book and read it. She loved it! It tells the story of a squirrel family, mainly about Twiggy the squirrel who would really like a sock that a little girl leaves behind for his nest. My daughter loved how the little girl in the story cared for the squirrels, which is something she does as well. The story portrays kindness and sharing, which melted her heart overall. It's well written with cute illustrations, and we're glad to add this book to our collection!"

"What an amazing children's book! Children need immersive, engaging, and relatable. They need the "what if" and the "uh oh." What makes and stands this book apart from others is the author not only WROTE the book, but also ILLUSTRATED the book. You don't see that talent everyday. Looking forward to more from this author."

Twiggy is a super cute book about realizing what our possessions mean to us and to others, as well as the importance of sharing! I was able to share this book with my students and they loved it! This book is a great addition to my shelf to share with future students, and I know that many of them will love this story as well!
4 stars! Mine and my students’ only critique was that it is just a tiny bit long, but otherwise this one is definitely worth the read. Thank you to Goodreads and the publisher for my copy.

Engaging Storyline that is both humorous and playful. It appeals to both children and the adults who may be reading to them.
I enjoyed the colorful illustrations … they are both vibrant and whimsical and compliment the story wonderfully.
The book encourages interaction with readers. It invites children to participate and imagine.
While the book is primarily for entertainment, it also imparts a simple and positive message.

This takes the reader on an adventure with Twiggy. He was a special character that had our whole family laughing.
It's such a cute story that holds their attention. Not too short but not crazy long either. Nice illustrations.
