After 2.5 years raising two little hatchlings into tiny, mighty humans I have decided to take the leap back into full-time freelance! I have a few small teaching gigs lined up and I'm currently illustrating LOST FAIRY TALES with translator Shelley Tanaka for Knopf Canada (more on this dream project soon) but I am looking to line up more projects and work for Fall / Winter / Spring / Summer and on.
If you'd like to work with me or if you know someone who would, please PM me:

Over the past few years, I was very fortunate to be able to work with some exceptional people on some pretty awesome projects. Here are a few highlights:
-My picture book THE WOLF-BIRDS (Owlkids Books) received a School Library Journal starred review, made it onto The New York Public Library's "100 Titles for Reading & Sharing" list, and The Writers' Trust of Canada "Best Books of the Year" list, and is a finalist for The Children’s Literature Roundtables of Canada’s Information Book Award.
-My book AVIS DOLPHIN with Frieda Wishinsky (Groundwood Books) was translated into italian by Mondadori Press and has been shortlisted for The IODE Violet Downey Book Award!
-I adapted the late Carol Shield's screenplay SUSANNA MOODIE: ROUGHING IT IN THE BUSH into a graphic novel manuscript for Xenophile Media and Second Story Press.
-I edited an upcoming graphic novel for Doubleday.
-I illustrated MY GIRLFRIEND'S PREGNANT! (Annick Press) and a handful of other smaller illustration gigs, including Ryan North's ROMEO AND/OR JULIET (Riverhead Books).
-I've continued to teach COMICS AND GRAPHIC NOVELS at the University of Toronto and lead workshops at schools and libraries.
I am open to any illustration or design work, or perhaps you have a graphic novel manuscript that needs a good substantive edit. If so, I'm your girl!
Teachers and librarians, I am available this month most morning's and starting next month, I will be available afternoon's too! Please contact my awesome booking agents Valerie Sherrard and Marsha J. Skrypuch at [email protected]

Thank you in advance for thinking of me, and for any leads. It's an exciting time!
