New Books, New Baby! July 30, 2016 17:23 6 Comments
It's been a long time since I last added to this blog and so much has happened!
A foreign edition of Sleepyheads in Chinese was released! Although I think it's only readily available in China, you can find it online at the specialty retailer, Chinasprout, here. A new board book edition of Sleepyheads will be available in the US on August 2nd and you can find it on Amazon, here!
A new board book edition of The Whale in My Swimming Pool was released! It's an adorable, chunky little size perfect for the wee-est of readers! Find it on Amazon, here.
My latest new board book, You Are My Pumpkin, was also released! This sweetly spooky board book with a glittery cover is filled with an irresistible cast of chubby, happy Halloween-themed characters. Halloween may be far from your mind at the moment but it's never a bad time to tell your little one how much you love them. Find it on Amazon, here!
Four upcoming books that are soon to be released:
Peep and Egg: I'm Not Trick-or-Treating, will be released on August 9th! This follow-up to Peep and Egg: I’m Not Hatching, written by Lauren Gehl, is a light-hearted story about opening oneself up to new experiences! Find it on Amazon, here!
My best-selling You Are My Cupcake will be available in a touchable, huggable, squeezable cloth book format perfect for the wee-est of the wee-est of readers August 30th! Find it on Amazon, here!
Pug Meets Pig, written by debut author Sue Lowell Gallion, will be released on September 27th! A sweet and silly story about a darling duo that celebrates the timeless themes of embracing change, being kind to others, and finding friends in unlikely places. Find it on Amazon, here!
You Are My Merry Little Christmas, my next glittery board book featuring an adorable cast of chubby, happy Christmas-themed characters will also be out September 27th! Find it on Amazon, here!
And last, but certainly not least, my latest, greatest, and cutest creation of them all, my husband Steve and I welcomed our precious baby girl, Dylan Rose, into the world in June. Those of you who have been following me for a while know that we suffered a devastating loss of our sweet baby girl Evie in 2014 so I had been a little quiet about this pregnancy. I feel like I’ve lived a lifetime in the past few years, experiencing the absolute best and worst life has to offer. Dylan has brought joy and healing into a place of deep sorrow. We are overjoyed to finally hold her in our arms and feel blessed to be surrounded by so much love and support.
Needless to say, life has been a little hectic since Baby D's arrival but we are enjoying every minute and laughing a lot, or maybe we're just delirious from the lack of sleep.
Right now I'm slowly working on getting back into the swing of things and look forward to diving into and sharing with you some exciting new projects!
