I illustrated a book for author Tina Deines, available now!

It was a clear night and not a creature was stirring… Well, except for Daisy dog, who was happily twitching in her sleep. Daisy was dreaming of all of her adventures sniffing and exploring prairie, mountains, forests and more. In “Daisy Sniffs Out Nature,” Daisy teaches children about the different ecosystems as she recreates each adventure in her dream world.
