ABC ROAR is here!


It’s an animal and alphabet adventure!
Creating the illustrations and design for ABC ROAR was such a joy,
with so much inspiration from my animal-loving family.

Kids will learn animal names and write the letter of the alphabet in this
colorful and interactive novelty.  Each spread with cut-out layers
and glossy paths feature a different creature living in their
environment for a hands-on exploration of letters and animals.

Kids can touch and trace letters from A to Z, whether it’s
a bear fishing in the stream, dolphins splashing in the ocean, 
or a leopard roaring from the trees above!

ABC ROAR is now available and I’ve updated my website
to include a fun, book-themed stick puppet activity to pair with storytime.

Happy Book-Birthday 123 ZOOM!

 

 It's publication day for 123 ZOOM and I'm excited to share
with you this colorful, interactive novelty board book!

Each spread with cut-out layers and glossy paths features
a different mode of transportation for a hands-on 
exploration of numbers and vehicles.

Count, touch, and trace from one to eleven,
whether it's one plane on the runway, two dump trucks
on the construction site, or ten bicycles on a bike path.
Then fly, sail, race, and count backwards through
clouds, ocean, and land to find hidden surprises.


 


 
It's companion book, ABC ROAR releases in July.
This hands-on novelty introduces the alphabet and animals in their habitats.
123 ZOOM is available now, at Barnes & Noble and fine stores.

If you'd like to read about my journey and process creating
123 ZOOM, please swing by Tara Lazar's blog,

Happy Lunar New Year!


Roar, it’s the Year of the Tiger! 
If someone you know was born in 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962,
1950, 1938... (you get the pattern), their zodiac sign is the tiger.
Tigers are known to be brave, confident, and strong.
Lunar New Year is on February 1st.




As someone who creates children’s books for the youngest readers,
I’m all about drawing adorable tigers over fierce ones!

Wishing you and all tigers out there good health, fortune, and happiness!
