Penguin Flies Home
Penguin loves everything about flying: the wind beneath his wings, the song that rises from his belly, and the sight of new and wonderful places. Still, he misses his penguin friends in the South Pole. So, he flips and flaps back home, ready to teach them the magic of flight!
But when he arrives, his enthusiasm for flying doesn’t get quite the reaction he expected. Will Penguin’s friends still like him, even if they don’t share his soaring dreams?
My New Etsy Shop
A little part of me has always dreamed of living in the English countryside above a little shop where I could paint, and share creativity with whimsical pieces of art for sale. There’d be tea and cake, and shop kitties to greet everyone who entered! Alas, that will remain just a dream, but I’ve decided I can have an online shop. I can’t serve tea, but I can share creativity and art, and of course the kitties are here to greet everyone. So I’ve opened an Etsy shop. I invite you to check it out. Please bring your imagination, and a cup of tea (or coffee if that is your thing) and join me there.
Today is book birthday for EVEN THE SMALLEST WILL GROW! Sharing a little trailer.

I create because it opens a sense of wonder in me. I hope my new book, EVEN THE SMALLEST WILL GROW shares a sense of wonder with others. So excited it releases next week. This illustration print and a signed book are now on my Etsy site.

Yay! My book, THE WISDOM OF TREES, just got its third STARRED review. Kirkus, SLJ, and now Publishers Weekly! I'm grateful to have written this one. Learning how trees work as a community to feed each other, defend one another from disease and insect attack, and even how they share a form of communication with one another has changed the way I see the natural world around me.
