This collection features my published and forthcoming children’s book projects, all rooted in a love of nature and interconnected storytelling. My debut picture book, I Am the Thirsty Desert—a Eureka! Nonfiction Honor Book—explores the desert’s resilience through lyrical text and collage. My pre-published titles (Turnips for Henry (written by Andrea Bemis), Connected, and The Yellow Stone of Yellowstone) each highlight the relationships that link living things, from ecosystems and seasons to beloved animals and iconic landscapes. Together, these works celebrate curiosity, ecology, and our place in the natural world.
