Who wouldn't want to save the world from disaster, then be home in time for dinner? Trolls' Bridges and Nasty Ogres follows Ethan's magnificent adventure as he and Fred discover the Ogre lair, use the Troll’s magic stone, and rescue their source of magic, all with faithful Fred by his side in this imaginary exploit one spring afternoon. I created this story as an ostentatious celebration of imagination for children ages 4 to 8. Imagination is our brain’s muscle memory for critical thinking, and it needs encouragement and exercise.

I often see other illustrators lament commission work, saying, "I never have time for my own projects." That's the wrong outlook.

Trolls' Bridges and Nasty Ogres is a picture book that celebrates wild flights of fancy, preferably shared with an adult who hasn’t forgotten how children can easily shift between make-believe and the real world.

"What could this be?"
In my children's picture book, A Bewildering Bottle, we follow Ethan's fertile imagination as he dreams up increasingly fantastic ideas about the bottle they found.

Wouldn't it be great to talk to animals? Ethan thought so; in fact, he was certain his Uncle's donkey knew lots of funny jokes.

This is a concept piece for a story idea that "popped in there" one day. A young rabbit becomes lost and, in her quest to find her way home, makes five new unlikely friends. Here, they pause to admire the sunset.
