Exciting news to share, part 1!

 

This has been such and exciting month for me so far - my birthday on the 3rd, back to school on the 4th, and now I'm honored to be featured in Family Fun magazine's September issue! As if that isn't enough, I also just received my copies of a collaborative art book that I helped illustrate, along with a group of art teachers, called "If Picasso Went to the Zoo" - the second in a series of "If Picasso..." books. More about the book in part two of this post later in the week :).
The September issue of Family Fun includes an article called "Meet a Maker" and shares tips for parents about bringing out the creativity in children. I have been a fan of this magazine since my kids were young and am so glad to be a contributor. My son is now an 8th grader and my daughter Kinsey starts her freshman year in college this week - wish me luck as I send her on her new adventure!
