School Library Journal Editors' Picks!

Yay!  I'm thrilled to see Quiet as a Mouse: And Other Animal Idioms
included in School Library Journal's Editors' Picks!

that pairs bouncy rhymes with close-ups of different faces.

"Quick and cheeky, smart and sneaky.  I'm sly as a ..."

A page turn reveals the answer: a fox.  Vibrant images fill each page,

accompanied by large text.  Strategically placed die-cut holes and flashy,

fun details (a red bandana for the ox, a pair of sunglasses for the bat)
add to the charm."  - Mahnaz, Dar,  SLJ January 2018

Happy New Year!

Happy 2018 my friends!
I'm kicking off the new year with a book birthday!
It's so awesome to finally see
Quiet as a Mouse: And Other Animal Idioms hit the shelves!

Indeed, I am happy as a clam.
Cheers to an amazing and creative new year!

"It's a visually dramatic and playful exploration
of animals and language - especially the final scene
featuring a very happy clam with mirrored sunglasses."
