Illustrated by Zoe Persico 
BROTHERS ARE NOT FOR HITTING About the Book 
Hands are powerful, amazing tools for playing . . . but hands are not for hitting our friends and family!

Wherever Laila goes, her adorable brother Reggie is always close behind. At school, church, even the bath! But on a trip to the zoo, when Laila feels too excited, impatient, overwhelmed, or reluctant to leave, her body tells her it's time to hit! How can Laila find better ways to express her emotions and be safe with her hands?

Out Now!

Written by preschool therapist Ryan Allen with illustrations by @zoepersico.bsky.social , BROTHERS ARE NOT FOR HITTING helps children recognize signs that they are about to hit, and teaches great techniques and positive alternatives to stay safe and have fun.

A chibi Perle from How To Talk To Your Succulent with a copy of the book saying "We're an Ignatz Nominee for Outstanding Story!" The collection of nominees for Outstanding Story for the Ignatz Awards.

I can't believe How To Talk To Your Succulent is nominated for Outstanding Story (what!!!!) for the legendary Ignatz Awards with SPX! I'm so honored Succulent is included with such talented company. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it!

The cover for Tonight Is Krampus Night! featuring a large Krampus above a Bavarian town in winter. A view from above of a Bavarian town lit up with lights as Krampus' claw shaped shadow appears on snowy rooftops. A peak at a thicket of bare trees with glowing eyes from little Perchten. A mischievous Krampus outside of his fire-filled cave on a mountain ledge.

Wish the spooky season would continue on into winter? Do I have a book for you! TONGIHT IS KRAMPUS NIGHT! Written by Kyle Sullivan and illustrated by me is hitting bookshelves this OCTOBER! I l adore Krampus so I'm honored to have illustrated him and other holiday horrors in this picture book! πŸŽ„
