Children's Books


Illustrating and writing children's books has been a passion of mine for many years. It all started with Little Betsy, who randomly occurred to me one day on my way to class. After that one little book, I was hooked. Aside from creating for my own little ideas and rhymes, my addiction has now branched out into creating for commissions. 

I love children's books that have a sense of adventure and whimsical ideas. I love children using their imagination and playing outside and being proud of who they are, however strange that may be. It seems that everyday fewer and fewer children are resorting to their imaginations and instead retreat inside to their game consoles. With my books, I hope to reawaken their desire for real adventures and their amazing imagination skills. 

To date, I've written/illustrated/bound over a dozen children's books.
