Reading Dog Man by @davpilkey.bsky.social for the first time (I know I should hav read this sooner) and I have so many thoughts! Spoilers ahead!

I'm creating a brand guide for my website and my online presence, and I thought I'd share a cool tool I came across. Coolors is a fun color palette generator coolors.co

Ten (!!!) years ago my first book deal was announced. I can't believe I've been in the kid lit industry for a decade!

I had fun this past weekend drawing three dog illustrations for @wamal.bsky.social! They have a fundraiser every year where you can get your pet poorly (or not so poorly) drawn. Here are the three dog illustrations I made as a volunteer.

It's always disappointing to get book reviews that have to do with the condition of the physical book. I have no control over this and it hurts the book's rating :( If this happens to you please contact support before leaving a one star review.

Voted (by mail) for my first Canadian federal election. So happy to call this country home!

Canadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD) is on Saturday, April 26! Find a local indie bookstore & check their socials for specials on this day! www.indiebookstores.ca/bookstores/ #cibd2025 #books

In honor of National Poetry Month, here is a poem I wrote when I was young: It Looks Great to Go Snowboarding! Snowboarding <- my poem Snowboarding is fun, you do tricks, hang with friends, & do it over again. Toeside, sideslipping, & lots, lots more! It's fun to explore when you're on a board!

I’ve told myself for years (!!) that I’ll take a pottery class. I finally took the plunge. I’m very proud of myself.

It’s #NationalLibraryWeek - support your library and get a free audio book ⬇️

Went to Costco and only bought what was on my list! 🙌🏻🏆
