I'm happy to announce my first author-illustrator picture book, YETI IS NOT READY FOR SCHOOL, will be available on July 1, 2025, from Random House Children's Book. You can ask your favorite independent bookstore about preordering, or preorder from online retailers. (I'm also hard at work on Yeti's second story, coming in 2026!)
YETI IS NOT READY FOR SCHOOL
First day of school jitters? Yeti knows all about that! She’s not ready for her first day of school either in this colorful picture book that is a gentle reminder that’s it OK to be scared to start something new.

It’s almost the first day of monster school, but Yeti is NOT ready. Even though she has practiced her stomp, perfected her growl, and filed her fangs. . . her stomach is still full of fire-breathing moths! Can Yeti survive her first day? Or will she find a way to stay home instead? 

With a gentle reminder from dad that Yeti may not be the only nervous new student, YETI IS NOT READY FOR SCHOOL is the perfect read to help assuage pre-first day anxieties.
