A NEW look for the Pre-K Program

featuring 

Fanny Frog


I had presented a number of different design comps and this is the look chosen by the team. This program incorporates the company Pre-K spokes model (Fanny), custom doodle art and title type design, paired with a selection of photos which celebrate diversity. 

All titles are available in English and Spanish.


The background patterns and colors had previously been selected 

but had to be incorporated in the cover designs to match what had 

been already used in book interiors.

 Fanny Frog and Family!

A few years ago, Frog Street Press asked me to update

their beloved mascot, AKA Fanny Frog.

Here is the Fanny puppet reading a book featuring her little brother, Fernando!



Here are a few poses of Fanny doing various activities.



Poses of Fernando and one with baby Lilly!


Baby Lilly!


We ended up changing her outfit a couple of times.


These were some development sketches of the final outfit.


School at home...

I designed and illustrated these book covers and a few more, 

(mostly featuring Fanny Frog) 

for Frog Street Press. 

This series of books needed to be adapted for parent taught at home use during the 2020 pandemic.

All titles are available in English and Spanish.

I Am A Mammal

 I Am A Mammal!

Here are a few pages from a little book that I wrote and illustrated for Frog Street Press!

FUN! FUN! FUN! 



(front cover)


This was from a page that said that mammals come in all shapes and sizes.
"Some small as mice, some big as,"... you guessed it.


"Giraffes are tall with necks that are long,
Rhinos have horns and they're great, big, and strong. 
Elephants have trunks that hang down to the ground,
Cheetahs have spots, and gazelles jump around."





"Walrus and seals have flippers for feet.
Otters crack oysters for something to eat.
Dolphins glide through water with help from their fins.
Whales head up north when summer begins."


(back cover)

Also a pick-up of art from the first spread.
"My teacher told me that I am a mammal.
So is a dog,...So is a camel."

Stop Bugging Me!

 Stop Bugging Me!💖

(Another one from 2020)

Some books are just plain fun to illustrate. This was one of those projects for me.



I loved this back cover as well as the front!💚



Some bugs bite!




Some bugs sting!!!


Bugs are not all bad.


Some bugs are even good!


And some bugs make us happy!
