I spent two days last week and a good portion of this weekend painting my first ever mural! With loads of space in their new (opening May1st) location and a dedicated children's book section, the good folks at Trail's End Bookstore decided to let me add a splash of color :) Get a glimpse here and be sure to check it out in person the next time you are in Winthrop, WA!

With much thanks to author/illustrator Jeff Newman, of Hippo, No Rhino fame, I am the proud winner of a recent contest! I'm very excited to post pics of my prize when it arrives. Hippo, by the way, is a very cool book and a recipiant of the most recent SCBWI Golden Kite Honors Award for Illustration. Way to go Jeff!
To Willie's constant surpise, even the slightest friction between thumb and index finger, would always wake them up...
