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).
- Soon illustrating NUBBY by Dan Richards. This picture book follows an overworked stuffed bunny who strikes out on a quest for glory and appreciation. (Knopf, Spring 2023)
- Story in progress – PUNK ROCK is a young MG graphic novel about a rock who is a rough tough bully (after being trampled most of his life). But when Rock gets an unexpected chance to join a punk band (something he’s always dreamed of), it’s only going to work if he can find it in himself to be tough and friendly.
Upcoming Events:
- June 17, 7pm EST – Talks with T – Discussing managing life, marriage, children and being a boss lady, Live on Instagram
- September 18 – nErDcampGA – Free Virtual Educator Conference! Session times TBD.
