I am un-scientifically excited to share my next picture book: 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 illustrated by #RhianWright and published by @publishinguclan on March 6th! But please, do NOT say certain words...or we'll all be doomed... 💩

One year ago today I found Gregory in the back of a cage at a shelter. He was the oldest cat and had been there the longest... and his sad eyes broke my heart. Today he's a sassy, talkative friend who sits with me while I take photos of space. Happy adoption day Greggers!

Mandy is Still a Banana - out today!

Absolutely nothing to see here…. @mariahcarey was LOVELY! So friendly, warm and kind! We had a chat about Glitter Boy and she said she thought it would make an “amazing movie”!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you @mariahalerts for making it happen!
