In The News

“The artwork is bright, clear, and just a little surreal as subway maps and grids are incorporated into most of the paintings.” —School Library Journal on My Subway Ride

“Funky, fun gouache and mixed-media illustrations . . . refreshingly nondidactic story.” —Booklist on I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother

“[The book] will certainly be appreciated by biracial families, and the loving and anticipatory atmosphere may connect with any expectant family wondering who the new baby will take after.” —School Library Journal on I'm Your Peanut Butter Big Brother
