🌈 Exciting news! Today I received the wonderful announcement that my beloved book Rainbow Bear, which I had the joy of illustrating for Michael Sampson and Bill Martin Jr., and published by Brown Books Kids, has swept all three categories at the Children's Book Council Awards — voted by children, teachers, and librarians alike!

Hooray for my little cub — he's truly brightened the world with his colors and brought smiles to so many. I'm beyond grateful and thrilled!
