The start of September.

This week I’ve started to notice some signs of  fall. The sun lower in the sky in the morning and night, cicadas dotting the sidewalks, squirrels a bit busier than they were last month and mornings when I need a jacket.  At the shift of seasons I’m able to move out of my usual more multi colored palette and focus on a more limited color look. 

 

I’m also seeing lots of acorns which I find so charming! (they feel good to hold in your hands)

Hello, World! Kids' Guides EXPLORING SHARKS

 

To extend the summer vibes I thought I’d share Hello, World! Exploring Sharks. (published in 2022) Going into this book I’ll admit I didn’t know much about sharks, except for thinking they’re scary! After a couple months of research, I began to have a whole new understanding and appreciation of these fascinating fish. The book explores a sampling of sharks from whale sharks to mini sharks, information on prehistoric sharks, (can you imagine) shark relationships with other animals, and careers for shark loving kids to aspire to!

Here's a couple spreads so you can get an idea of the word count and aged up facts on each page.

*Did you know that a group of sharks is called a shiver.

Here's a pile of sharks I painted for this book.

Did I mention it was selected by Amazon as one of the best picture books in 2022 for ages 3-5.

Even with my new wealth of knowledge, I won’t be cage diving anytime soon!

Splish, splash, snuggle!

 Little Sleepies commissioned me to make a new print called Splish, splash, that is now available.

I tried to pack these little duckies with personality & you can keep the bathtime fun going long after the tub drains!

This print is available in an array of styles and sizes. Even pajama pants for adults– you can check it all out here. 💛 🫧 💦

Back to School

 

Back to school season is here! My son started his senior year of high school which brings up all sorts of feelings! I have a fun A-Z print in my Etsy shop that tip toes into the educational zone. This one isn’t in my usual rainbow palette but don’t worry R is for rainbow!

Here’s to a great school year for all the kiddos K-12th. And a BIG thank you to the teachers! 🌟

Pumpkin Pals

 

Cozier weather is on the way and today Little Sleepies introduced Pumpkin Pals (a print I designed) to their fall lineup. Pumpkins, warm cider, crunchy leaves, busy squirrels, and a cool breeze it won’t be long now! 

For your little pumpkin! 

Okay, how CUTE is this baby. I might need a new screensaver!

Flying rainbows!

 🦜

I love color and these tropical birds look like little flying rainbows.

Soaking up every last bit of summer while I still can!

Hope you had a good weekend.

Flying by...

 

summer! 🎈
