I'm so, so excited to be making this incredible book with Angela Johnson and Nina Crews! (Along with fabulous designer Danielle Carnito!)

Hooray! Love this book. (Plus, it has a gatefold.)

Hey all- I wrote a blog post again! Here it is:

Thrilled to have this book with @caren_stelson and 日下 明 / Akira Kusaka. Art Director thoughts: SO happy to have signed up Akira-san for the art. This is truly an amazing emotional visual journey and you all get to see it in S20! (Though I wish you could see it sooner. It's that good.)

Oh hey look- my latest blog post is up on the Lerner Books blog! You can relive my whirlwind trip to NYC for the Society Illustrators Original Art Show opening & award ceremony with me...

Thrilled to be working with Mehrdokht (and designer Kim Morales) on this book. I've talked with both and seen sketches... it's going to be Amazing!
