When I was a kid, I loved to doodle and create characters. I was mesmerized by the work of legendary animators like Ollie Johnston, Freddie Moore and others. As an adult, I've discovered that a good story is a powerful way to communicate. And good art is an effective way to bring the message home.  

​

     In 2010, I decided to do something about my lifelong passion. Late that year, my first book Neckless: The Audrey Amaka Story was published and released to enthusiastic response. In the years since, I have written, illustrated, or art directed twenty-six children's books--including an additional six titles of my own.

​

     I am a stickler for excellence at every stage of production. Along with a well-crafted story, a timeless message and appealing illustrations, each of my books is printed with quality and durability in mind.
