My girls have been  absolutely loving Kallie George‘s series called “Magical Animal Adoption Agency”.  It has sparked all sorts of creativity over here. Magical animals are being crafted, rooms have been turned into adoption rooms, there are even unicorns in my bath tub!

These books feel even more special because I have a small connection to Kallie.  The first email I received offering me a children’s book illustration job was from her. She and I worked on “The Goodnight Book” together.

I’ve got the sequel to The Goodnight book ( The Good Morning Book) all ready to go.  It should be coming out pretty soon. 2016 is a super busy year for me, I’m working on 4 books!  A very different scenario from when I received that first email from Kallie…  and I will always feel thankful to her for giving me my first book.
