I have fun book news to share! This week brought the announcement of my second picture book…
WILLOW AND BUNNY!
Coming in Spring 2022, WILLOW AND BUNNY is the story of a young Bunny and his best friend and protector, Willow. Any bunny who’s ever found shelter in the arms of a friend will understand the love that flows between these two close-to-my-heart characters.
Here’s the Publisher’s Weekly announcement!
WILLOW AND BUNNY was acquired by Two Lions, the publisher of my debut picture book, DANCING WITH DADDY, illustrated by Ziyue Chen (Fall 2021). This means I’ve had the pleasure of working with incredible editor Kelsey Skea not once, but twice! Thank you, Kelsey, for believing in WILLOW AND BUNNY and helping my story grow.
Illustrating WILLOW AND BUNNY is Christopher Denise, one of my favorite picture book artists. His books have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list and are beloved by children and families across the globe. I’m beside myself with glee that Christopher will bring Willow and Bunny to life.
A huge thank you to my agent, Stephanie Hansen of Metamorphosis Literary Agency. It was a dream-come-true to see our news in Children’s Bookshelf! I’m so glad we connected in KC, three years ago. Here’s to the books we’ve announced… and the books yet to come!
I’ll share more about WILLOW AND BUNNY, as we near the Spring 2022 release. Until then, thank you for reading this and for being a part of the journey!
