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.
