Primariamente una artista, esta autora crea narrativas que juegan con la imaginación visual, partiendo de un amor de toda la vida por los libros y la convicción de que las palabras pueden pintar imágenes en la mente. A pesar de su formación artística formal, descubrió su voz como escritora a través de su hija, lo que la inspiró a crear su primera obra sobre un árbol que da globos. Su camino hacia la publicación fue largo y desafiante, pero ahora comparte su experiencia, animando a los escritores aspirantes a perseverar y a leer y escribir siempre.






Princess Leora must grow a magic balloon tree in order to warn the king that his kingdom is in jeopardy.
Jillian Jiggs-- who spends most of her time making up games and playing dress-up-- is much too busy to clean her room!
Jillian Jiggs and her friends are back... and this time they're putting on a show! Jillian doesn't have any money to buy her little sister Rebecca's birthday present. Her friends Peter and Rachel remind her that the best presents are the ones that you make, so Jillian decides that they should surprise Rebecca by putting on a play. But things don't happen exactly the way she planned and Jillian winds up with a few surprises of her own!
After discovering that buttons look just like pigs' noses, Jillian Jiggs embarks on an extravagant pig-making enterprise. She makes pirate pigs, princess pigs, striped pigs, and plaid pigs and sells them for ten cents each. Full color.
