The super talented Renee Kurilla interviewed me on the Simply Messing About blog as part of their SMA Interview Series. There's also some pics of my studio. Click Here to see it.
My new picture book, HIDING PHIL, is out!
It's the story of three siblings who come upon an elephant named Phil and decide to bring him home. "Our parents will love Phil!" they cry out. Until it dawns on them: "Uh, oh . . ." No they won't! So what do they do? Try to hide him, of course! But hiding an elephant proves to be much more difficult than they ever imagined. Where To Buy: - At your Independent Bookseller - At Barnes & Noble - At Amazon.com Thanks so much to everyone for participating -- really appreciate the kind words! Randomly selected winners are: Michaele Razi: You won the book! Mimi: You won the poster! I am putting them in the mail tomorrow. Have a great weekend, all! Our toaster stopped working so I decided to make a sculpture out of it. Below is what it looked like before. All the electrical components were removed prior to starting the project (safety first!). The Texas Toast and the front lever (toaster's nose) were fabricated out of wood.
Some of you might remember Milton the Talking Toaster, who was the mascot for Kellogg's Pop Tarts back in the 70's. As a kid, I loved Milton (and the Pillsbury Dough Boy, and Tony the Tiger). Milton was a huge influence for this project: A sneak peek of my upcoming book, I CAN SEE JUST FINE, due out this August and published by Abrams Appleseed. It's the story of a little girl who is absolutely certain she does not need eyeglasses... in spite of what everyone else thinks.
