I’m thrilled to share the release of a heartwarming new picture book I illustrated — The Pumpkin with a Crack In It.

This sweet story follows a proud little pumpkin who thinks he’s the most perfect gourd on the farm… until a small crack (and a big lesson) changes everything. Through playful characters and vibrant farmyard scenes, young readers learn about the importance of humility, kindness, and inner beauty. 

✨ Whimsical veggies
✨ Fall festival fun
✨ Emotional growth and friendship
✨ A cozy read-aloud for autumn and beyond

This book was such a joy to bring to life, from expressive veggie characters to the golden glow of farm fields. I loved working on every page!
