✨Cover Reveal✨
I’m so excited to finally share the cover of the upcoming picture book “Wanderers” written by @juliamosswrites and illustrated by me! I enjoyed researching and exploring the history of transportation, and I absolutely had fun drawing all the vehicles🛶🛷🚲🚊🛴🚂🚝🛫🚙🚀

The book will be released on October 6th, 2026 and is now available for preorder! Links are in my bio, so if you are interested in purchasing the book, please consider checking them out✨

Huge thanks to Danielle, Michael, and the team at Beach Lane Books @simonkids, and of course, my amazing agent @hanmannstagram !!
