Let’s Draw and Color Bugs!
I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this quarantine, I know this has been a tough time for all of us. To keep busy, I’ve been baking, getting my garden ready, and spending quality time with my kiddos at home. One of the things I’ve found to be really helpful has been staying creative. I’ve been drawing just for fun, which has been a really nice change of pace for me. Typically, I’m jumping from one picture book project to the next. All this free time to draw led me to create my first drawing book: LET’S DRAW AND COLOR BUGS. I’m so excited to share it with you all, I hope you like it! Be well everyone!
Now available in paperback and Kindle eBook on Amazon

I Am Not Sick – How Our Family Is Coping Through Quarantine
So things are crazy right now. And everything in the world is really overwhelming. To stay calm, my husband, Frank, and I try to stay creative. We write and draw to let go of stress. Amidst everything going on with Coronavirus and the pandemic we are all dealing with, we decided to make a FREE picture book available for download to families. Here’s a little bit more about it:
Book Description:
Tuck does his best to convince his parents he doesn’t need to stay home from school: I am not sick, my nose is only jogging. Then Mom sends Tuck to bed. But with the help of his dog, a frog, and a little imagination, Tuck discovers a day spent inside isn’t so bad. It may even be fun.
Dear Parents and Readers,
I Am Not Sick was a phrase our oldest son used the first week we had to keep him home from school in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak. Why do I have to stay home? I am not sick. His response lingered with us, leading us to wonder how our three boys, all under the age of five, could possibly understand a world event such as this. With the world shutting down due to a pandemic, we felt it was important to get this story out as quickly as possible. Typically, a picture book takes two years to create with a traditional publisher. So in twelve days, from manuscript to final art, we created a book. I Am Not Sick became our way of dealing with a catastrophic event. We are coping as a family, navigating this strange time together. Not all of us want to stay home from the things we love doing, just like the main character in our story. But in this time of crisis we are asked to stay in for the safety of others. It’s our hope that families can share a few minutes of story time with us— a way for us all to connect as we practice social distancing.
Sometimes we get sick. And though it takes us away from the things we love, it’s important to remember not to be afraid. The sun WILL rise and we can all get through this together.
We understand the importance of a home library. As our country is in the midst of a financial crisis, we wanted to give our book away for free as a downloadable PDF while everyone is stuck at home dealing with the onset of the Coronavirus. We hope you enjoy our small contribution.
Be well.
Lindsay and Frank

THIS BOOK IS GRAY Cover Reveal
Gray just wants to be included. But the other colors are always leaving him out. So he decides to create his own project: an all-gray book. Once upon a time, there lived a wolf, a kitten, and a hippo…
Gray just knows it’s going to be perfect. But as he adds page after page, the Primary and Secondary colors show up…and they aren’t quite so complimentary.
A book within a book, this colorful tale explores the ideas of fitting in, appreciating others, and looking at things from another perspective and also uses personality and wit to introduce basic color concepts.
