Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and projects that let me show a range of emotions.

What's your favorite underwater creature? For #kidlitpostcard day, here's the evolution of "Squid in Pants." Did I make the right character design decision?

Process is everything! This journey began in 2019, and "Squid in Pants" is out now. Graphic by Danna Staaf+C.A. Clark

And now Kirkus AND Evanston Public Library! I have never had a book appear on so many Best Books of the Year lists, and it's honestly a little overwhelming.

Thank you so much to everyone who has shared THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES this year and continues to put it into the hands of just-right readers. ❀️

β€œIs not general incivility the very essence of love?” Elizabeth Bennett asks in Pride & Prejudice. In the case of William & Lorena, the answer is an emphatic yes!

I am overjoyed to finally be able to shout the words: THE LAST VAMPIRE IS OUT NOW! (hardcover, e-book, & audiobook)

Cover for "When Tomorrow Burns" by Tae Keller, a timely contemporary MG novel that explores the power of rumours in the digital age, changing friendship, a hint of magic in ancient text, with a wildfire in the backdrop.

Reminder for anyone looking at their calendar + trying to figure out how to hit those writing / creative goals you made for 2025:

It's okay to adjust in order to take care of you. You are more important than your work.
