I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve signed the contract for my debut picture book, BRAINSTORM, scheduled to be published in the Summer of 2022 by Sleeping Bear Press!

Your thinking is cloudy —gloomy and gray. But wait! A BRAINSTORM is headed your way. What begins as the tiniest drop of a thought — kerplink! — soon swells into a whirlwind of words, pictures, and ideas spilling down — Plunk! Plonk! Splat! For fans of WHAT IF? by Samantha Berger and WHAT DO YOU DO WITH AN IDEA? by Kobi Yamada, BRAINSTORM takes us inside the mind of a young writer caught in a downpour of creativity.

BRAINSTORM is a rhyming concept picture book targeted to children in grades K-3 who are beginning to learn how to shape and sharpen their idea-generation and storytelling skills. It will include writing prompts and additional suggestions for parents, teachers and librarians who are looking for ways to inspire kids to have fun playing with new ideas!

More details coming soon!
