Chicago Public Library Best of the Best
Thanks, Chicago Public Library! I am so amazed to see both SAFE CROSSING and Cómo decirle hola a una lombriz on Chicago Public Library’s Best of the Best list of Best Informational Books for Younger Readers of 2025. And I am filled with admiration seeing what great company of books they are joining this year!
I am so thankful to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago for my time at art school there: I studied wood cut relief printmaking, plant and animal illustration with Olivia Petrides, at the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Field Museum of Natural History, interned at the Chicago Children’s Museum, and volunteered with the Mighty Acorns – so here are all those seeds planted long ago in Chicago blossoming together! And I met my amazing and talented sweetheart Greg Cook there, and for all my Chicago peeps, thank you!
