I think about and draw things that are rarely seen around us. My hope is that not only children but also more adults can enjoy picture books together. My first book, Pool, was a New York Times Notable Children's Book of the Year, an NPR Best Book of the Year, and won the Society of Illustrators Gold Medal for Original Art.
