His first picture book, Snuffy will be a delightful book for your children and hopefully they’ll get the message that they have unique abilities and skills and when they understand how to use them, they’ll make the world a better place. As you’re reading Snuffy, keep an eye on those cheeky seagulls!

Coming in 2024, his second picture book Eight at a Time is based around the notion that everyone deserves to be free to follow their dreams. And no matter how small you are, you have the power to help someone who needs it.

Coming in late 2024, his third picture book, Moxie vs Cat Memes will be a fun story. It has a gentle message to encourage us to give our love and attention to those we love in a distracted world.
