Hubert is a whale who longs to find krill to eat in the ocean. He has many people friends along the shore, but when he asks them for krill, they don’t have any! Why can’t Hubert eat the krill in the water all around him? Maybe he needs glasses . . . Good thing his people friends Darlene and Marvin figure out how to help him!

This full-color, funny book tells a positive tale of fitting in and friendship. Great for reading to younger kids, or for independent elementary readers who want a laugh. My husband and I dreamed up this original story, and I took the next steps to write, illustrate, and produce the book. Drawn using ink, colored pencil, and watercolor – plus whimsy and weirdness!

Take a positive, fun journey into fantasy worlds of animals and magic that young readers (and their grownups) will love! Whether your child reads yet or not, my books are perfect for snuggling together and reading out loud.

I write tales of both everyday life and not-too-scary adventures that blend in gentle messages of gratitude, resilience, friendship, and other emotional skills. They are fun, comforting, and safe, as kids' books should be.

And some of the stories are just plain silly! ;)
