Happy to share the beautiful animated cover of SOURGRASS! It brought a smile to me instantly. A story about two best friends who, whether they’re right next door or far apart, find a way to keep their friendship alive. It will be out next month, March 26!


This one is for the beach goers, sandcastle builders, nature lovers, science learners, & imagination users! If you’ve ever wondered where in the world all those tiny grains of sand might’ve come from, prepare to be amazed!

due to a recent fire, Yu & Me Books in Chinatown NY needs to remain closed for a year. if you’ve ever been to the store or one of their events, you know that the store is the heartbeat of Chinatown. please consider supporting their GoFundMe so they can stay afloat & rebuild:

Another book with the remarkable Sharon is cause for celebration!! Especially when the story is as beautiful and important as this one. 🐚✨

I’m honored to be able to announce my second picture book, SHELL SONG (Beach Lane Books/S&S, spring 2025). This story is inspired by the seashells my paternal grandfather collected in a WWII incarceration camp in Hawaii. 🧵
