Tomorrow is a big day; I’m going to press a button and something I've been working on for years will be one huge step closer to being out in the world.  That is scary.  And strange.  And very exciting!

My first reaction when illustrator Jon Kalvin sent it to me was pure joy. I probably gasped.

It felt like a giant exhale after years of imagining this book, writing and revising this book, and wondering how great it would look sitting on a shelf.

What an exciting milestone! I have received and approved all sketches, and the entire book is now ready for ink and colour.

That feels strange to say. Strange, but wildy exciting!

I’m a little overwhelmed and a little bit scared. But truthfully I am mostly just in disbelief.

Before we meet the family, it is very important to announce that I have signed on to work with my incredible illustrator, Jon Kalvin. Finding Jon was a bit of an accident.

I am not an expert on parenting. I am a Canadian author who has raised three kids, written a humorous book about a boy who thinks his mom swears too much, and lived through plenty of moments where a word escaped before I could stop it. I do not think that makes me reckless. I think it makes me human.
