📱COVER REVEAL📱

Once upon a time, Little Red loved her red cloak. Now? She’s all about her little red phone. When Fairy Godmother tries to tell the story, Red can’t stop posting—is she sharing too much and are followers the same as friends.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and projects that let me show a range of emotions.

A great resource for Remembrance Day. It explores our Canadian history, and teaches empathy, critical thinking and pride for our service members and their sacrifices – including the contributions of all of Canada’s diverse population. #KidLitArt #picturebook
