So lovely to catch up with @jslwilliamson this morning for a VERY exciting meeting. I always have to pinch myself that I get to work with such brilliant publishing teams. More details soon, but there’s the teeniest of clues in one of the photos for any detectives out there!

What a FURtastic virtual visit to @thongsleyfields today! We talked about my inspiration for writing Yetis Don’t Exist, stamped & stomped along with the yetis’ story, learned yetis moves & drew our own furry @Loretta_Schauer-style yetis. Thank you for inviting me! #worldbookday

Conversations with my 10yo are never dull. Today's random musing on the way to school: How long do you think it would take the world to notice if suddenly no one could sneeze?

Children's books build empathy, compassion, and understanding. They can transport readers to whole new worlds and back again, all without leaving your sofa. They can comfort, they can delight. They are magical.
