It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas around here! Lee did this fun little illustration to get in the spirit of things ❄️😄 We’ll be turning this one into a greeting card, available soon!
Fresh batch of books!
Post by Lisa
Just got a big box of Lee's latest picture book, Kate, Who Tamed The Wind!
It's all about a little girl who befriends a neighbor and figures out an ingenious way to temper the winds atop the steep hill where he lived. Written by amazing kidlit writer Liz Garton Scanlon.
The story reminds me a bit of when we lived in Corbett, where gale force winds routinely buffeted the surrounding hills. We lived in a little house tucked down in a protected hully gully, but there were parts of town where the winds could get up past 100 mph!
Anyway, it's a lovely story, especially for all the tree lovers out there 😀 It's due out Feb. 6!
New picture book coming out soon!

Just got an advance copy of the new picture book Lee illustrated, Kate, Who Tamed The Wind! It's so fun to see the book in its final form, after months and months of edits and revisions 😀
It's a lovely book about a girl comes up with a plan to tame the wind by harnessing the power of trees. Written by award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon.
It's due out in stores on 2/6/18.

The Original Art exhibit!
Post by Lisa
Lee will be part of the upcoming The Original Art 2017 exhibit!
The exhibit, put on by the Society Of Illustrators, showcases art from the best picture books of the year. Lee is one of the featured artists for the picture book Emma and the Whale 😀 It's quite an honor to be selected!
The illustration above will be on display at the Society of Illustrators in NY from Nov. 1 thru Dec. 30. It's loosely inspired by the lovely beaches on Bainbridge Island, in the Puget Sound.
"Love, Santa" is here!
Post by Lisa
It's here! Love, Santa, the new picture book Lee illustrated, comes out today! It's written by the super talented Martha Brockenbrough. Feeling excited 😀
Here's a spread from the book, it was done in watercolor and elf magic. How does Santa get down all the chimneys, anyway?
Here comes Halloween!

Here's the cover Lee did for the upcoming Halloween issue of Cricket Magazine. Hitting newstands soon!
Note: Lee will be sharing the process for making this image live on Facebook! More details to come 😀
Great review from Publishers Weekly!
Post by Lisa
A bit of good news in all this gloom 😀
Love, Santa, which Lee illustrated, got a great review from Publishers Weekly! It's a really beautiful story, so it's nice to see it get some love.
It's all about how a girl comes to learn the truth behind Santa, and how she carries on the spirit of Christmas. We will definitely read it to our little guy when he is a little older and ready to know that Santa is bigger than any one person 😉
It's written by the amazingly-talented Martha Brockenbrough, a Seattlite who has written a whole lot of books for young readers.
It's due out on 9/26!
Love, Santa
