When My Baby Is Buggy was born...

Years ago, when I was perhaps eleven or twelve, my daddy drew me a little cartoon of a ladybug pushing a baby carriage, and the caption read: "My Baby is Buggy." I loved that sweet little scrap of paper and saved it for years, but alas, somewhere along the way that tiny piece of history disappeared. I imagine that my dad's 'Mrs. Ladybug' may have been the catalyst for one of my most fulfilling occupations: Illustrator and maker of tiny things.

Thanks! BeachBoundBooks!




When I found the site BeachBoundBooks, I was delighted with the first line: "I have a great love for books..." and then went on to read how the author of the site valued the ability not only to entertain, but to inform.  I took a shot ... sent her The Bees Are Missing! ... and waited.  The book is fun and entertaining, right? Beautifully narrated by a lovely human, with interjections from the meadowland animals. And then there's the inform part: There are bigger issues out there in the world, but for this little bee, it all comes down to being a bit of a slob, and learning the value of cleanliness, and how things we do affect others. Plus, he finds he has some pretty great friends! What a happy relief to finally get the lovely email with this awesome review attached!  Thanks Stacie Theis, for your time and effort to get the word out!
