Book Pre-Order: The Women Doctors of the Church

I hit the ground running this month, and I haven’t stopped! I am hoping to be able to do another book review next week. But in the meantime, I have exciting news: a book I illustrated, The Women Doctors of the Church by Colleen Pressprich, is now available for pre-order! I must say, I think this is the loveliest book I’ve worked on yet, and I can’t wait for its release.

UPDATE: Well... I just heard from the editor that Amazon has it wrong! It is slated for a Fall 2022 release now. So stay tuned....

Recently, I acquired a copy of Stations of the Cross for Kids by Regina Doman and illustrated by Chris Lewis. Now that Lent is upon us, it is a timely book to review, especially if yours is a family that attends the Stations of the Cross at church.

Educator Christine Peters recommends this beautifully written and illustrated rhyming book for children. In portraying the strength and faithfulness of the donkey, the author and illustrator also show the same virtues in Joseph.

Behind the Pages: Light of Heaven Saints Coloring Book

Behind the Pages- a peek at how a book came to be (this one was by me). This is the book that started it all for me. It started my journey as a Catholic author and illustrator, and I could not be more grateful to God for the way things worked out.

Book Review: A Boy Who Became Pope

Every time I read A Boy Who Became Pope, written and illustrated by Fabiola Garza, I get choked up. The life of this boy was more than touched by loss and grief; much more than I could imagine in my own life. But just as greatly, it was blessed by deep faith, courage, fortitude and the grand movements of God.
