Upcoming Hello, World! story time

 

I’ll be at Rainy Day Books in Kansas City Saturday, May 23rd for story time at 10 am. I’m reading my two new books in the Hello, World! series; U.S.A and Soccer. It’s going to be an exciting summer, let's kick it off together! This is a free event follow this link to RSVP. Hope to see you there! 📖 ✨

Hats off to the 2026 grads!

This art was for a greeting card which has a special significance to me. My son graduated high school earlier this week! I designed this card with him in mind & heart. Like many Gen Z’s he’s private (which I think is so healthy) so I won’t share a bunch of photos of him in a variety of hats. BUT, I will say, I’m proud of him for trying on an array of options to find the right fit. Here’s to new beginnings & a bunch of new situations to figure out what suits you best.

I can't wait to see what you'll wear next!

Happy Mother's Day

 

I'm not saying all the time, but let's admit it.... most of the time.

(This are was a card for Design House Greetings, sold in Trader Joe's.)

*This book came at a personally special time for me. My husband, originally from Chile became an America citizen last spring. When I was writing this book we were studying our American civics together. Me, to bring this book to life & Antonio to take his U.S. civics test.  I dedicate this to him and all the new American citizens. Welcome! 🇺🇸

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Earth Day! 💙

 

Happy Earth Day! I recently visited a local school in the K.C. area to read Hello, World! Garden Time, which is a great spring, read. 📖 🌱 I love having the opportunity to not only write and illustrate books but to share them in person with little learners. I think we all walked away with a greener thumb!

(If you're interested there is a variety of Hello, World!coloring pages available to download on my website.)
