Month: July 2026

I hope you're enjoying all the sunshine, summer adventures, and opportunities to make special memories with the children in your life. While the temperatures outside continue to climb, I've been keeping busy indoors with exciting book updates, new projects, and some fun opportunities for aspiring children's book authors!

Exciting News: How NOT to Destroy a Lab is Getting Closer!

I'm thrilled to share that my newest children's picture book, How NOT to Destroy a Lab, is making wonderful progress!

I've received the first sketches and preliminary illustrations, and it's been so exciting watching this story come to life one page at a time. Every illustration adds more personality, humor, and scientific fun than I imagined.

If everything continues on schedule, I'm hoping to finalize the book in August! I can't wait to share more sneak peeks with all of you in the coming weeks.

This story celebrates curiosity, experimentation, and learning through science… while reminding young readers that sometimes the best discoveries come from a few unexpected mishaps along the way!
