Hello, hello! I’ve been absent for a few months because SOOO much has been going on. I’ve definitely been spending a lot of time processing all the latest developments in the country and in the world. I hope you’re staying safe, healthy and sane through all the ups and downs. First, I’m posting an image… Read more »
I can’t believe we’re in the last stretch of summer. I’m still getting mosquito bites and craving ice-cold lemonade, so it doesn’t feel like summer’s over. Say it ain’t so!! A few months ago, my publisher sent me some Folded & Gathered (F&G) copies of my upcoming book, THE PAPER KINGDOM. Subscribers to my website… Read more »
I can’t believe 2018 is almost over! It was a truly memorable year, a year of firsts. First book published, first launch party in NYC, first international school visit, first time I had to decline a speaking engagement (in Paris of all places!) simply because I couldn’t make the time…the list goes on. I have… Read more »
I have some fun updates to share! THE TURTLE SHIP is currently undergoing the color correction process. That means Colleen (the talented illustrator), Lee & Low (the amazing publisher) and the printing company are collaborating to make sure the colors represented in the book’s images accurately reflect the colors in Colleen’s original artwork. Jessica (our… Read more »

For one, my debut picture book, THE TURTLE SHIP, will be released this year! Check out the gorgeous cover above, which is provided courtesy of brilliant artist Colleen… Read more »
Our puppy Sherwin is four months old today. During our first few days together, I seriously didn’t know if I had the chops to raise a pup. Rather than being overwhelmed by Sherwin’s cuteness, I was overwhelmed by a deep and strange depression. You see, I grew up with dogs and have always prided myself… Read more »
Dropped off our ballots. Cautiously optimistic!! #vote2020 #votelikeyourlifedependsonit
Sherwin and his lady poodle friend Brioche haven’t been able to see much of each other during this extended lockdown period. So Brioche’s talented & hilarious human sent us a photo to express how much Brioche misses Sherwin, who apparently resembles a 1930s gangster (Edward G. Robinson) in her fantasies 😂 #batpig #sherwinthedog #frenchiesofinstagram
So grateful for clear, blue skies, esp after so many days of ash & smoke here in L.A.
I love this so much—the handsome lil’ man, his expression & hat, the lovely words that accompany the photo...everything! Thank you, @katmet33 💕 @get_repost

He was asked to bring in his favorite book to preschool, and here it is! The Paper Kingdom is one I actually purchased for myself because I remember having to go to my mom's job at a factory after school. I also remember my first job after college at a law firm, the big conference rooms and mountains of paper. A paper kindgsom is an apt description. The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautful, and although I enjoyed the story for my own reasons, it was just as engaging for him and he excitedly tells me what is next. He asks for this book every night, and you will be happy to know that he said he would be a nice and happy king in his paper kindgom.

My parents and I are in the New York Times today! My dad’s reaction: “Now that I’m famous, does this mean I have to behave in public?” Yes dad, watch out for the paparazzi 😂 (We’re at the top of the Tiny Love Stories column, and will be in Sunday’s print edition as well ❤️) #nytimes #dadhumor #modernlove
