My most recent project, illustrations for the book What I Believe, was published in October by Beyond Words. It was written by Jennifer Murphy-Morrical and is about a mother sharing with her children what she believes is real and true in life.

Another of my books, Sarah the Best Bridesmaid: A Paper Doll Storybook, will be published by Dover Publications.  The story takes place in the South around 1850.  Sarah Clayton is 8 years old and preparing to be a bridesmaid in her sister's wedding.  Each page features a vignette of Sarah and her adventures.  Included in the book is a paper doll of Sarah along with six plates of costumes and accessories.
