My book is the true story of a 17 year old girl who became the first human cannonball - but really it's about bravery, independent spirit, and giving.

Great Dog Literary @greatdoglit.bsky.social · 16d

Deal Alert! Mondays are sweeter with a new book in the works. Congrats to Rebecca Solow on her upcoming book, ZAZEL, with Red Comet!

✨ Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! ✨

This piece is from a project I’m currently working on.
I am an author first—who also illustrates—and I’m seeking representation with that focus.
My next children’s book is scheduled for release in Spring 2026, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Wishing everyone a great start to a new school year! Kids will laugh and get a refresher on what NOT to do with their books with THE KING OF BOOKS, out now from @mackidsbooks
#kidlit #childrensbooks

Art from the book THE KING OF BOOKS, plus the cover - by Gina Perry. Quote reads: "Children will delight in telling their adult reader and the KING how to actually enjoy books. Nope, books are not for tower building or soup-eating or book-quaking. They are for reading. They may even help defeat a moat monster. Or better yet, befriend one." -Sarah Scheerger, author of OPERATION FROG EFFECT.

I hope your family is okay. Looking at art is always a pick-me-up. I updated my website with new art and plan to start emailing art directors. Also finished a dummy for an upcoming SCBWI event and survived back-to-school week.
