My Publications:
Jake’s Journey is a sketchbook in which Jake the dog tells elementary school children stories of how he learned to understand his feelings about the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Jake experiences feelings that resemble many of the same feelings children exhibit when they are coping with trauma. Each story is followed by an idea that helps children express their own feelings through drawing.
