Usborne Slot-together Theatre

Our toy theatre, an across the pond collaboration with Usborne Books, is out just in time for the holidays! Jenny Hilborne engineered and designed the incredible construction. I made the illustrations. They're fun for all ages and available at usborne.com and Book Depository.

I'm humbled and honored our Gordon Parks children's book won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Children's Literary Work!  Heartfelt thanks to the NAACP and members for this wonderful distinction and for bringing attention to Gordon Parks' inspiring story.  It's been such an incredible journey sharing Gordon Parks' story,  I never expected this opportunity, so grateful!  Thanks everyone for your support!

Happy New Year!

We'll take a cup of kindness yet!♩♬♪  Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2016!

Remember the feeling!?

An Open Book Foundation

We recently had the opportunity to share Gordon Parks' story with third and fourth graders at two schools in Washington D.C, made possible by An Open Book Foundation. I'll never forget this amazing experience! 

Signed copies of our book were given to third and fourth graders at two schools in Washington D.C. thanks to An Open Book Foundation.
