Hello Summertime!

Purply Thoughts

~ When you get lost in thankful purply thoughts.  Wishing you a wonderful Springtime….

A New Humphrey's Tiny Tales Book!

This is the most recent chapter book in the Humphrey's Tiny Tales series.  What Fun! It is a true privilege and DELIGHT to create the illustrations for this series. This little hamster has my heart!

Humphrey is a wonderfully fun, hilarious and super smart little hamster!  There are times I am quite loud in my chuckling as I read what Humphrey's creator and author, Betty Birney has written.  I really enjoy my own adventure with Humphrey as I work on the illustrations for each story.

Wishing you the best journeys as you read your favorite books!

Welcoming A New Picture Book Today!

Appreciating the sweet review excerpt on this new picture book out today! 
MAGGI AND MILO MAKE NEW FRIENDS <3 span="">  Juli Brenning  Emily Van Beek Christina A. Tugeau Christy Tugeau Ewers 

“Brenning’s text is spot-on [and] is ably supported by Burris’s watercolor digital artwork, which depicts great facial expressions, just enough detail, and a refreshingly multicultural group of playmates. Brenning has penned another winner. This is a charming selection with a great message to boot.” —School Library Journal (June 2016)

Summer Begins!

Listening to the beginning of summer. . .

Cheers!
