Hi there! My name is Shanda (rhymes with panda), and I write and illustrate children’s books. I also love visiting schools and talking with kids about making… things, friends, and even mistakes.

Books:
Also in the Works:
- Currently illustrating LITTLE RED WRITING HOOD AND THE BID BAD EDITOR by Rebecca Kraft Rector (Aladdin, Summer 2022).
- Proposal for PUNK ROCK (an early graphic novel for ages 6-10) about a rock that’s constantly trampled on and how he (with the help of some cool, caring creatures) finally finds his happy place, himself, and his people.
Upcoming Events:
- Sunday, January 17, 2021, 1 PM EST – Virtual LIVE story time, drawing lesson, and book launch celebration for Bedtime Ballet! A special thanks to Read It Again Bookstore for hosting this event.
- Saturday, April 10, 2021 – BAM Festival (Virtual)
