I had many fine years with my previous agent, Steven Chudney, and I wish him the very best as he transitions into retirement. I'm forever grateful for all he's done.

Here's to the books in the past, and the books to come!

I'm pleased to announce that I've officially teamed up with Andrea Morrison at Writers House! It feels good to join the talented crew, and I'm excited for what's ahead.

Years 1 and 2 have been enjoying 'Umami' by @JacobGrantBooks this week. She is fed up of eating cold fish three times a day and decides to do something about it! Will she able to get the other penguins to like her new food? @VikingBooks @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

There was lake time, and street art, and timbits, and book friends, and dim sum, and mahjong, and breweries, and poutine, and kpop demon hunters, and I even pulled a nail out of a sideshow lady's nose! Time well spent.

Doodles from 🇨🇦 - We were lucky enough to spend the first couple weeks of July visiting family and friends in Kitchener, Toronto, and Muskoka - which meant lots of sketching!

A translation donation for @oakparklibrary 🌎📚 I dropped a big box of books off at the library yesterday with translations of my books from Spain, Poland, Korea, Taiwan, France and the Netherlands. Happy to have the books out of storage and out in the neighborhood! #kidlit
