Wheels on the Go | Let’s Go Cover Reveal!

By

I’m so excited to share the cover for my new novelty board book series WHEELS ON THE GO, with the first book: LET’S GO! publishing 7/2/19 with HarperCollins!

Vroom, vroom! Toddlers will be taken with this board book with 6 shaped wheels.

Children and parents will enjoy all the wheels in this interactive guessing game. With clues on every page, kids will delight in touching each die-cut shaped wheel with unique treads as they guess what vehicle each wheel could be—everything from a school bus to a stroller!

The bright, graphic art style, clever rhymes, and interactive elements give a fresh spin to the transportation board books that kids adore.

Cover Reveal for VACATION FOR DEXTER!

By

Check out the cover reveal for VACATION FOR DEXTER, book 3 in the Dexter T. Rexter Series! I’m so excited to share Dexter’s next adventure with you all!

Dexter T. Rexter is on a plane—for the very first time.

Dexter can’t wait to go on vacation with his best friend, Jack. Supercool orange sunglasses? Check. Nifty travel hat? Check. Plane tickets? Uh, what? Dexter may be the toughest, coolest dinosaur around, but everyone knows T. rexes don’t fly! If anyone could do it, he could. It’s just that he’s suddenly feeling a little hot. And maybe a little nervous. But just as he starts to melt down, he notices Jack looks upset. Dexter realizes he has to be brave enough for both of them. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll start to have a bit of fun in the air.

Both nervous and funny, Dexter tells the readers what he’s feeling and even asks their advice as he comes to understand that being brave with a friend makes everything a little better. And hey, those cookies during the flight don’t hurt, either!

Available April 16th, 2019!

Publisher’s Weekly Review of IT’S SHOW AND TELL, DEXTER!

By

“In his second outing, Dexter, a toothy, orange dinosaur toy, is freaking out about show-and-tell day at his owner, Jack’s, school. Dexter’s anxiety peaks—with psychosomatic symptoms such as “tummyache” and “clammy claws”—as he questions his self-worth: “What if Jack doesn’t think I’m cool enough for Show and Tell anymore?” Happily, Dexter nails it by just being himself. Ward’s gentle art features cut-paper forms with residual pencil outlines, providing an ad hoc quality to the spreads. Readers prone to anxiety over big events should be tickled by the idea that a toy has concerns too. Ages 3–7. (July)” –Publisher’s Weekly

Future Illustrators

By

One of my favorite things about being a children’s book author/illustrator is seeing how young readers experience my books. I received a lovely email from a teacher here in Ohio who has been teaching Please Bring Balloons in her classroom for the last couple years. Each time she does the unit with a new group of students she shares the artwork with me. Today, it made my day. Look at these adorable kiddos and their beautiful artwork. Keep in mind these are second graders. Look how amazing their artwork is! So impressed. Thank you to all the kids at Buckeye Elementary for sharing your lovely artwork with me.
