MAX and MARLA tells the story of two best friends. They are adventurers. They are true Olympians who never give up and they will turn obstacles into victories!
My debut title as both author and illustrator will be published in October, 2015 by Putnam's Sons, an Imprint of Penguin Young Readers Group and I am so excited.
The Magical Animal Adoption Agency, Book #1 Clover's Luck, written by Kallie George, is almost here! Just one more day!

FLOWERS is a personal project and a work in progress. I am planning to post more about it in the future.
Soon I will launch my new website and open a FB page for those of you who would like to see more of my work and stay informed about upcoming books and personal work. A lot is in the works and I am quite excited.
Thank you, as always, for stepping by.
And the day has arrived. Doreen is swimming in open water.
Below I show some sketches which lead to Doreen's final look.

Now, Doreen is on a mission—to visit her second cousin twice removed who’s just had 157 babies… But unknown to her, she is dodging disaster at every turn on her journey upstream—oblivious to the mortal danger she is in! She remains an oblivious unfortunate fish, utterly clueless, despite the narrator’s panicky warnings along the way… like, “OH NO DOREEN! That’s not a dragonfly! IT’S A HOOK!”
Fortunately, for Poor Doreen, that’s not the end of the book or of her. (As you’ll find out when you read the book.)
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN “POOR DOREEN” I want to hear from you! Please enter 1 of the following via Twitter, or Instagram, or my Facebook page (here) and make sure to include the hashtags to be in the running -
And entrants will be featured in future blogs too! Don’t miss the chance to have your fish portrait shown in a glorious fish gallery.
I can’t wait to hear from you, and to share more about POOR DOREEN in coming weeks.

Relax? Hot chocolate? Who are you kidding.
Right now-- well, it's kind of a secret (Max told me that), they are just on a roll. Don't forget: these two are Olympians!!!
But next week they might take some days off. I think, Marla hinted something. But then, of course - Marla would hint that kind of thing.

I start personal pieces often after I finished a book, or sometimes while working on a project, simply to catch a breath, play with an idea, or to break a point where I might feel stuck. LEAVING HOME is such a piece. I had started it literally years ago and completely forgotten about it. It was hidden under a stack of sketches in my studio. Last week, I went to see the Mary Blair exhibition at the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco and was able to spend the day with a wonderful friend talking about art and life. Mary Blair is truly a great talent, and I admire her even more for being such a female force of her time. The point is, I came home so inspired, was restless, and stumbled over this unfinished piece of mine. Still inspired by my visit to the Museum, I finally finished it. I find it interesting to see how different this piece turned out just because of all the years that had passed.

Back in December 2011 I started to post about Lola on this blog. The story was born then, only I didn't really understand it yet. Lola forced her way onto my paper and gradually I understood that it is one of the stories I wanted to tell. I have been bursting to announce the book since quite some time now. In Fall 2015 Lola's Heart will be published by Penguin Books. This will be my first book as a writer/illustrator.

This new chapter book series, written by Kallie George, introduces strong characters which I fell in love with right away. Rooted in Classic Fairy Tale storytelling and filled with deliciously fresh air.

in this little vignette from her first book, Tallulah's Tutu,
written by Marilyn Singer.
Those of you, who have been following Tallulah's journey so far will not be surprised to hear, that she wanted to have her own sculpture. She was waiting patiently for some time.
Watch the turnaround below! So beautifully sculpted by Andrea Blasich.

CAUTION: A fish named Doreen has taken over my twitter feed… and now my blog! I cannot be held responsible for anything.
In celebration of POOR DOREEN (swimming into stores in March) I’m doing a fantabulous giveaway!
But before we get to the giveaway, introductions are in order.
Meet Poor Doreen, the fish star of my new picture book.
Actually. Sorry. Her full name is Mrs Doreen Randolph-Potts. Ever heard of a fish with such a name? Neither had I.
And she is quite unusual. Have you ever seen a fish in a headscarf? With an umbrella? Me neither. Nevertheless here she is.
Now, Doreen is on a mission—to visit her second cousin twice removed who’s just had 157 babies… But unknown to her, she is dodging disaster at every turn on her journey upstream—oblivious to the mortal danger she is in! She remains an oblivious unfortunate fish, utterly clueless, despite the narrator’s panicky warnings along the way… like, “OH NO DOREEN! That’s not a dragonfly! IT’S A HOOK!”
Fortunately, for Poor Doreen, that’s not the end of the book or of her. (As you’ll find out when you read the book.)
FOR A CHANCE TO WIN “POOR DOREEN” I want to hear from you! Please enter 1 of the following via Twitter, or Instagram, or my Facebook page (here) and make sure to include the hashtags to be in the running -
My fish’s name is ……. & I hope to win “Poor Doreen”! #PoorDoreen #unfortunatefish #fishynames @sallylloydjones
My fish looks like this.. & I’m entering to win “Poor Doreen” #FishFace #PoorDoreen #unfortunatefish @sallylloydjones (include a photo or drawing)
My fish met her end by…… #unfortunatefish #PoorDoreen @sallylloydjonesThe contest will run until the end of March and a winner will be chosen at random to receive a free book (you may enter more than once! You may enter 101 times! As much as you like.)
And entrants will be featured in future blogs too! Don’t miss the chance to have your fish portrait shown in a glorious fish gallery.
I can’t wait to hear from you, and to share more about POOR DOREEN in coming weeks.

Today is the official publication day for Violet. You can meet her in this book.
Published by Atheneum Books for young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Have fun!
Take Your Mama To Work Today is a PW pick of the week March 19, 2012!
“Reichert embellishes a narrative style reminiscent of Laura Numeroff’s in the If You Give… series and presents a sturdy heroine evocative of Kay Thompson’s Eloise…. Many families will enjoy the interplay here between mother (efficient and loving) and daughter (sky’s the limit).”
—Kirkus Reviews, January 1, 2012
“Violet proves to be a more benevolent, less spoiled version of Eloise…those still too young for the labor force should get a kick out of seeing how easy it is to discombobulate the button-down mind.”
--Publishers Weekly, January 16, 2012
“Boiger’s whimsical watercolor illustrations show the charismatic little helper playing chair tag to “liven things up” in a meeting and teaching an adult how to add a “snazzy personal touch” by lying face down on the copy machine. Lots of cheeky fun that’s sure to elicit giggles.”
—School Library Journal, February 2012
“Young Violet offers children plenty of advice for the professional world in this lighthearted tale that uses the circular, second-person style of Laura Numeroff’s If You Give . . . series…. Eloise-esque illustrations expertly capture the exuberant girl’s innocuous misbehavior as well as all of the exhausted adults.... Children will relate to Violet’s enthusiasm to return to the office, and adults will recognize the coworkers’ subtle eye rolling.”
