Literature is a great method for teaching SEL skills because in reading a story, we're offered the opportunity to side with a character.

From sketches, we moved into full-color page renderings of Quarantine Kids!

MFA classes taught me that there is limited, if any collaboration between author and illustrator. This is NOT the case in self-publishing.

With my picture book manuscript in hand, the next thing I needed was, well, the pictures! So off I went to find an illustrator.
