I’m an illustrator and writer of children’ books living on beautiful Vancouver Island in BC, Canada. I’m interested in reflecting the rich and diverse world we live in and using imagination to wonder, explore and create. My work and books often reflect on themes of neurodiversity and disability, the natural world, community and relationships. My books include Some Body, Every Body! (Bloomsbury), Do You Know the Dark?, More Than Words: So Many Ways to Say What We Mean and Together, a Forest (Henry Holt Books For Young Readers).

I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional, ancestral territories of the K’omoks Nation.

As a human artist I value human creativity and am concerned about the creative theft, environmental destruction and harmful human impact that is foundational to generative ai. For these reasonsI choose to avoid its use in all ways possible. Please keep this in mind for any potential collaborations, and note that I do not respond to emails that are clearly written by ai.
