February 2008 - I just completed all of the paintings for the first book that I BOTH wrote and illustrated called, I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother (Knopf). It is a lyrical story about a biracial child imagining what his soon-to-be born baby sibling will look like. It is due to come out Spring 2009. It was the perfect project to work on while being pregnant for the second time and I am extremely proud of the art I did for it. |

December 2006 - Tot Stops won FIRST PLACE in the Brooklyn Library's annual Power Up Business Plan competition! Jessica Sequinot is managing all business aspects of the company, while I am the creative partner. Tot Stops features hip children's T-shirts with NYC destination illustrations taken directly from My Subway Ride and My Taxi Ride. I met Jessica in a mommies group when our children, Isaiah and Chloe were born (now 2 years old!) Our entrepreneurial creative spirits sparked the right combination for us to start a business and we became "mom-preneurs". Check out these fabulous T's at: www.totstops.com |
