Turtles and tortoises are wonderful. They plod along and slowly but surely get things done. In the midst of my plodding I’ve managed to put together a few new toys….


RACING TURTLES!

Tie two pieces of string to a chair and let the races begin!

~ I’ve also added two new toys to color here… a notebook and a funny camera. Break out the paints, crayons, and decorate your own toys!

Hello and hello!

I’ve been spending every spare minute getting ready for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators conference in Los Angeles the first of August. There is so much to do! I’m reworking my portfolio and making promotional materials. Lots of wonderful writers, artists and editors will be there and I am so excited I could just about burst!

Wish me luck!

Best thoughts,
