Happy Holidays, all!

Thanks to Crayola for animating one of my Broken Crayon pieces! Special thanks to Crayola's Kate Loffio for being so supportive of me and my work.

Meanwhile, I am sooooooo excited about the upcoming launch of GURPLE & PREEN, a broken crayon picture book written by Linda Sue Park and illustrated by me, published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers! I'll be posting more info on my Broken Crayon resource page when it's available.
