Kid Lit
Author/Illustrator
A life-long writer and illustrator, I have recently written and illustrated several children's books. My children's books reflect my deep appreciation for the natural world, as well as my invested experience in world cultures through my extensive travels and life as an ex-pat. I hope my books will transport young readers through imagination into far-off lands and new adventures.
I'm excited about having an opportunity to have my books published and into the hands of young readers and those who read to them. These include:
-
non-fiction picture books, which offer a unique angle on animals in ecosystems around the world, for the three- to eight-year old set. The manuscript was awarded a coveted First Runner Up Mentorship through Picture Book Rising Stars in May 2024.
-
a picture book in which a little girl desperately wants to be a gymnast and through the process finds her true talent and dreams, for ages five
to ten
My works in progress include:
-
a magical realism middle-grade book inspired by her world travels
-
a magical realism picture book based on what inspired Robyn to live in Japan
-
siblings who travel the globe at the speed of light, witnessing cosmic origins and return home with thrilling tales
