I’m thrilled to share my latest book deal, a humorous STEM picture book inspired by my very own cat (and his “experiments”). This one teaches young readers about Newton’s Laws of Motion through the eyes of a curious, science-loving feline and his less-than-enthusiastic family. I feel so lucky to get to collaborate on it with Justin Krasner and Karen Obuhanych (go look up her cat illustrations right now): I’m still pinching myself! Alas, we’ll all have to wait until May 2027 to see the final product.
