BOOK NEWS!

I'm thrilled and honored to finally officially share this news :)

I am currently writing and illustrating the first two books in a series of early reader chapter books for Scholastic Branches. I'm SO excited! This is my first trip into the world of books, and so far it has been a wonderful journey. Big shout out to my lovely superstar agent, Teresa Kietlinski, for making this happen and also to Katie Carella, the super clever editor I'm working with at Scholastic.  The books are due out Fall of 2015!!
