Let me tell you a quick story. I was driving home in the rain from a long day of errands, and I thought about exquisite care. What did it mean? How could I do it when I was stuck in traffic? Then I remembered I ..read more

Hi everyone! Today I want to share my new picture book, VIOLIN & CELLO with you. I’d also like to tell you about the process, in case you’ve always wanted to give it a whirl…and why not? Why not you? Here’s what happens: You write a story (no more than 500 words in total). But here’s the trick — it has to be compelling, unique, and fun for kids, with a child-centred hero who solves their own problem. And yes, even a children’s story has to focus on a problem because that’s what story is: conflict. Whether you’re writing a novel or a picture book, your hero has to want something they don ..read more

Happy Sunday! These aren’t just ANY jam drops. Nope. These are the best, most delicious cookies I make. Raspberry White Chocolate Shortbread Cookies. Trust me, you need this recipe. So easy. Cream together in a mixer: 1 cup butter 2/3 cup white sugar 1/2 tsp almond extract Add 2 cups + 2 tablespoons plain flour. Mix. Roll into balls and indent with your beautiful thumbprint. Add raspberry jam. I use a piping bag to do this. (The trick: warm up the jam a little or stir it well to make sure there are no lumps.) See? So pretty. Bake at 180F / 350 F for around 12 minutes. Cool. Then mel ..read more
