I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LOBSTERS

I just LOVE it when I get to share good news, especially good book news! My latest picture book, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN LOBSTERS, splashes out from Charlesbridge Publishing in 2026. Thank you so much to my wunder agent Kathleen at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Inc. , Eileen Robinson at Charlesbridge, and the incredibly talented Moving Doodles for making this happen.

And yes, my headshot is literally 10 years old. So just imagine it with a smattering of wrinkles.

 

FLORIDA BOOK AWARDS

Jazz hands! Happy dancing! Ear-to-ear grinning! I am thrilled to share the news that my picture book GOODNIGHT SCHOOL won a Florida Book Award. Thank you so much to the selection committee Florida Book Awards, and to the talented team behind this project, including the illustrator Cori Doerrfeld, my agency Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Inc., and my publisher Union Square & Co., now Hachette Book Group

GOODNIGHT SCHOOL is a love-letter to educators so I'm also sending big hugs and high fives to all the teachers, custodians, coaches, librarians, and administrators who keep our schools running both before AND after the bell rings.

 

GOOD MORNING MAIN STREET

Union Sqaure Kids team for  

We have a cover - and isn't she lovely? Thank you to the talented Fiona Lee and the Union Square Kids team for making this book so beautiful. 

Rise and shine! From the author of Goodnight School, here is a lyrical, lively, and irresistible story about Main Street getting ready for the day!

As the sun rises, a shopkeeper arrives to open his store, and this sleepy little street begins to open its eyes. From lampposts standing up straight, fountains gurgling on, and flowers reaching for the sun, everyone is up and at 'em, looking their best. Well, everyone except the yawning bookstore cat. Can he keep up throughout the day to join the fun?

Bailey's clever wordplay and energetic story pairs perfectly with Lee's vibrant and expressive art, giving a bright and lively start to every morning.

GOOD MORNING MAIN STREET is available now on amazon for pre-order (just sayin'....)
