New Release!
I love you when you are happy. I love you when you are sad.
I love you because you are you.
I Love You is a simple children’s picture book about unconditional love to read with your cherished little ones. A positive book with a happy, colorful little creature made for smiles. For ages baby and up.
I Love You is a return to my roots as a children’s book author and illustrator. It was a two-year journey for me as I experimented with different characters and the message I was trying to convey. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed creating it.
