My debut picture book, When the Dark Clouds Come, is currently under contract and will be published in spring 2025. The poetic story focuses on the sensory joys of a summer thunderstorm. The multimedia collage illustrations are composed of leaves, bits of fabric, wallpaper, and other gathered ephemera.
Dark, swirling, and moving closer with every page turn, a storm blankets the world in wondrous change in the picture book, When the Dark Clouds Come. The sky flashes, creatures flee, and rain brings a vibrant energy that seeps into every corner of the day. But you won’t want to stay under the covers for too long. Both frightful and beautiful all at once, a storm brings a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and colors for those willing to look. So watch as the dark clouds come, and witness the wondrous natural world right outside your window.
