Announcing the DASHER CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS Tour!

I'll be spending most of November & December reading, drawing, and signing books at bookstores around the midwest and New England. If you're near any of these cities & towns, come say hi!

Can't wait! 🦌❄️🎅

Apparently the title Dasher Can’t Wait for Christmas doesn’t translate well into Italian, so the Italian publisher asked if we could change the title. I like it!

Fulmine e la Stella Polaire, coming November 2 in Italy. And Dasher Can’t Wait for Christmas releases September 5 in the US!

Took about 7 hours, including a lunch break. I had an awesome crew helping me. My hand feels fine so far (knock on wood)! #comingsoon #dasher #kidlit #DasherCantWaitForChristmas

One thing I love about doing a Red & Lulu drawing demo during school presentations is all the beautifil art it often inspires. :) #kidlit #redandlulu

My Portuguese publisher, Poets & Dragons, sent me copies of the book, along with amazing pins of Red and Lulu, based on my art! Beautiful. 😍
