Introducing my 17th book, and the fourth book in the My Friend Barley series for the Hillsboro Hops - The Dream Team!

This is my first bilingual book and the first board book in the My Friend Barley series. Preorder yours today at ndbyma.com!

I figured it was time for a new author headshot. Maybe I'll get another next year so we can chronicle the increasing gray in my beard... 🤔

Thank you for making it an effortless experience!

I promised a book reveal so here we go!

Processing big feelings is hard! Join Lucy Blue Llama as she teaches readers of all ages how to process their emotions in my 16th release, Llamas Love Hugs!

The book comes bundled with a 16 inch Lucy Blue Llama stuffed animal. Perfect for big squeezy llama hugs whenever you need them!

Coming 6/1/26. Preorder now at ndbyma.com.

ECCC Day 1: What a wonderful surprise.

As I sat at my booth yesterday, a young lady - probably the same age as my son - came up to me and handed me this picture. We hadn't met before, but she had been watching and drawing me from across the room while I talked with kids and their parents.

I was truly struck by her kind gesture and her amazing art skills too. Abe, if you see this, thank you for making my day!

I've heard that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Should I be flattered, Budweiser? 🤔

The cool thing about alphabetical guest lists is that I get placed next to some really incredible people on the guest page. They have no idea who I am, but I'm still honored to be mentioned alongside them!

Come out to Emerald City Comic Con to see these amazing actors and creators and stop by my booth in Family HQ for a signed book March 5th-8th. Author Q&A and live reading Saturday!

No caption needed. Just two friends hanging out on a rainy day. 🦙
