"The Biggest Smallest Thing" is out now and available wherever good books are sold. It was brilliantly written by Sara de Waal, illustrated by me (eee!) and wonderfully cared for and put together by the lovely team at Annick Press.

I'm doing my best to share the "boring" details of working on my first book with a publisher because the nitty-gritty is the always bit that I want to know about when it's someone else's book. So I wrote about it on Substack:

The many cover options for The Biggest Smallest Thing, published earlier this month with Annick Press. It's ok to judge this book by its cover because a hell of a lot of thought went into it.

Don't you just hate it when you write a great story only to find out someone else already wrote AND published it? How dare you travel into the future to steal my idea then go back and publish it before me?

If you're a creator who: - Takes long break periods - Creates very slowly - Has another full time job or engagement - Struggles with productivity - Is inconsistent I'm sorry to tell you... YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

Sam understands that some days are for pizza and ice cream and some days are for soup. And she knows that most days have been soup days lately. She just doesn't want the kids at school to know. But when they'll see her "new" dress from Thrifty McGifty they’ll all know.
