K.G.’s second author-illustrated picture book, The Mermaid and the Shoe is available now from Kids Can Press. The book received a Starred Review from Kirkus. “Delicate, ethereal watercolor-and-colored pencil illustrations rely on muted blue-gray washes accented with splashes of color to convey Neptune’s underwater kingdom, with its flora and fauna…Although this luminous tale of self-discovery hs echoes of ‘The Litte Mermaid,’ like Minnow, it sings its own strong song.” —Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews Goodreads Reviews: The Mermaid and the Shoe » Purchase at Amazon »
The first two books in Elise's Disgusting Creatures series, The Worm and The Fly, come out this month. Both books have earned acclaim for their comical mix of educational and entertaining grossness!
