This Mermaid bunting (from the Grumpycorn books) tickled me so much, I’m tempted to use it as my profile pic

I'm really excited to see Kate Winslet reading, and I hope children understand they don't need to buy books; they can check out Grumpycorn at their local library.

Checking out books at your library boosts their statistics and helps staff argue the case for staying open! 💛💛💛

Here are the thumbnail roughs for 'Don't Call Me Grumpycorn' when I was a bit further along in illustrating my story. I like to pop everything into the grid to keep track of my progress and see how the overall story's shaping up. ✍️🎨

Thrilled to discover from my agent that Grumpycorn has sold over 130,000 copies in the USA! (I still don't know if Unicorn ever managed to write his fabulous story, but he has finished off many cups of moonberry tea.)🦄🌈 https://t.co/XFK6RgWPA1
