Kid Letters and Art
My favorite part about being a children's book author is visiting with young readers in classrooms, libraries, parks, bookstores, and other venues. And I love when they send art and write notes to me afterwards! Here are some lovely missives I've received ...






























Sprouting Stories at the Eric Carle Museum!
I loved having The Wall and The Wild featured in the Sprouting Stories: Plants & People in Picture Books exhibit at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art! The exhibit is no longer on display, but I had to keep a picture of it here. Check out the story board of books from the exhibit, too!
