ABOUT ME
I'm the author of fifteen picture books including Beep! Beep! Go to Sleep!, a 2016 ALA Notable Book, and Naughty Ninja Takes a Bath, which spent several days as the #1 children's book on Amazon at the end of 2019 . I have been fortunate to work with esteemed illustrators including Marc Brown (creator of Arthur books and TV series), Guy Parker-Rees (Giraffes Can't Dance), and Caldecott Honoree John Rocco (Blackout). My books have been featured in the New York Times; included on Best Books of the Year lists by Huffington Post, Chicago Public Library, and Bank Street College; and translated into Chinese, German, Italian, and Danish.
My latest two books are Would You, Could You Plant a Tree? and Would You, Could You Save the Sea? Both feature Dr. Seuss's Lorax and celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Seuss's classic book. Three more Dr. Seuss-themed books are coming soon--stay tuned!
Things I love:
- Dogs (even when they pee on the floor)
- Babies (even when they cry on airplanes)
- Toddlers (especially when they misbehave)
- Waterparks
- Milkshakes
- Summertime
- Writing books
- Colorado (where I grew up)
- New York City (where I live)
- My family (most of all)
