BONJOUR!
I’m an award-winning children's book author / illustrator and a world explorer.
My first picture book, Mighty Red Riding Hood, won a Lambda Literary Award.
I also illustrated the NY Times Bestselling middle-grade Dogtown series by legendary authors Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko.
Kirkus has called my illustrations “utterly charming” and “expressive” with a vibrancy “that relates as much of the story as the text itself.”
I was born in Houston, Texas, came of age in Paris, France, and spend most of my time on the U.S. East Coast.
By day I write and scribble, by night I dream of adopting a pet snake.
I’m always ready to share my creative process with young readers.
