Toddler-PreS--The young girl featured on the cover clearly wants to do things herself! A very expressive young child wants to get ready on her own. Only when she acquiesces to her wise older sister do they work together to get ready to go and have fun. Smiles abound by the title's end. VERDICT Pitch perfect for an audience of children who want to be self-reliant and have the stubbornness to prove it!.

In 2020 she took part in PBChat Mentorship Program and was Daniel Wiseman's mentee. Her work was shortlisted for the Illustrators' Exhibition at the 2021 Bologna Children's Book Fair.
