The Perfect Shade of Green is available!

The Perfect Shade of Green is now available through amazon.com. This was a blast working on and I hope it will let children, and maybe even some adults, know that it's ok to stand out from the crowd.

Cami is a chameleon who is very content and quite proud of her greenish glow. She won't change for anything! No matter what season, what the circumstance, day or night, she is not interested in blending in. She'd rather spend her days and nights in the perfect shade of green. Why change from black to white or any color in between?

Teaser spread for "The Perfect Shade of Green"

Haven't posted about the new book in a while so I figured I would tease a new spread. Hope you enjoy.

2nd book in the "Fundamentales" series

Some rough storyboard art of the second book entitled, "The Perfect Shade of Green". It's such a fun and exciting process to begin character development. The main character's tutu was inspired by my daughter's love of pink.

"Brady Needs a Nightlight" Reviewed By Conny Crisalli

Please see another great review below by Conny Crisalli.

With the fun rhyming of the tome, the simplistic illustrations against the darkness and the storyline about being afraid of the dark, any fearful child will love reading this charming, cute and creative yarn that builds confidence and assurance and perhaps an interest in bats and fireflies’ habits, while looking forward to the next one in the series.

Editors’ Picks: New Kids’ Books

Brady was chosen by a top mom blog as an Editors' Pick for new children's books to come out.

A very cool quote from their post

“So many books for kids are beloved classics that we remember from childhood and many more are books produced by corporations like Disney featuring already-popular characters and cartoons. For these reasons, we think it’s important to remember to look for the cool new kids’ books that have incredible stories and illustration and are totally novel—in other words, the new classics.”
