Hey there! I wanted to formally introduce myself. I am a children’s book illustrator and newly minted author. I’m originally from the US and now based in Sydney, Australia. I’m looking forward to meeting all the kidlit creators gathered here. So…hello!
From the Kirkus review of EMMIE BUILDS SOMETHING NEW by Marjorie Crosby-Fairall, her picture book about an inventive mouse who defends her attic home from an invading cat: "A sweet social-emotional book that’s the cat’s (and the mouse’s) pajamas": www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews... #kidlitart
