New Project!

This is still in progress, but I like how it's going!
"The Lost Notebook of Beatrix Potter" is my re-imagining her artwork and pairing it with bits of her writing I found in her letters and journal.   Some of the opinions expressed in her writings run counter to popular conceptions of her and that juxtaposition is interesting to me.  She may be thought of as a woman who created books about little rodents in clothes, but she was much more complex.

Beatrix Potter was born in Victorian England, lived through the Industrial Revolution and two World Wars, and despite her very puritanical upbringing and the limitations put on women, she went on to become a scientific artist, wildly successful children’s book illustrator, entrepreneur, landowner, and sheep farmer.

My newest book has hit the stores (and web) in time for 4th of July!
AMERICANS written by New York Times bestselling author Douglas Wood.

What makes Americans great?

Americans are different from one another in many ways. And despite these differences, Americans share certain ways of doing and being that hold us all together. From the Fourth of July to the Bill of Rights, Douglas Wood and Elizabeth Sayles share the story of what it is to be American.
