The book is two weeks old now. So much work went into illustrating this book! I posed my little squirrel toy—a gift from my friend Paulette (for boo) beside the stack of freshly printed books. Even though I worked on this for two years, it was still a surprise to see it all bound and printed with a dust jacket! :)
"The Belonging Tree" book trailer!
I’ve been working on this trailer for a few weeks. Excited to finally share it with you. Maryann Cocca-Leffler wrote a very thoughtful (and timely!) book which I had the pleasure of illustrating. It has themes about respect, inclusion and diversity. We need this book now. It is so toxic out there…I can’t believe how toxic.. I naively thought people would be kinder during this pandemic, but I was wrong. Love your neighbor. Be kind.

Cover Reveal!
I’ve been toiling on this book for two years now! I illustrated it entirely in watercolor! So, so much work but it was the right medium for the book. And as you know, j’adore SQUIRRELS! More to come!
