Take a peek inside the book process.
Step behind the scenes with me as I bring books to life—from the first manuscript to early sketches and final color and design. Each page is its own creative journey, and here I’m sharing a closer look at some of my favorite projects.
Max and Her Stacks
by Joyce McCullough
Max loves to read. She discovers great wisdom from writers like Amy Parker, the Berenstain Bears, Dan Gutman, Laura Ingalls Wilder, James Patterson, and many others. She learns to love zoos and farms, school and family, sports and adventure, and history and magical places.

When her teacher asks her what she wants to be when she grows up, Max knows she wants to be surrounded by stacks and stacks of books.
