What Has 2 Thumbs & Loves Highlights Foundation?

That one time when I fan-girled all over Highlights Foundation and they shared my admiration on their Instagram...

You Can Now Pre-Order My Book & That's No Bull...frog

The new book I illustrated for David L. Harrison and Holiday House Books for Young Readers (distributed by Penguin Random House Publisher Services) is now available for pre-order on Amazon!!

I'm very proud of And the Bullfrogs Sing: A Life Cycle, as it is the perfect combination of poetry, science and frogs!

For a hot second this little book even hopped up to the #1 spot for New Releases in Children's Zoology Books, which is a nerd victory for me, because for many years I created illustrations, artwork and exhibition signage for Potter Park Zoo!

Check out that number 1 spot!

So add this bullfrog business to your bookshelves today! Or I guess at this moment, your Amazon shopping cart...
