Cut-and-paste Mabel
When I'm not tearing down icy hills on our plastic red sled (sometimes backwards, mind you), I'm busy writing new picture book stories & visiting schools and libraries. If you would like me to visit your school, check out my visits page for more info. 
    
 
Also, I just launched homemade city, a blog about making things, with my dear friend & Cambridge University Press editor, Brigit Dermott. Brig knits and sews beautifully, while I prefer crafts that don't come with directions. So if you like cutting and pasting, hate to baste, and prefer to color outside the lines, check it out. I plan to post some fun things to make with kids.

"Charming cartoon illustrations perfectly match the playful language. . . . Children will find Mabel and Jack appealing companions."
