Visual storytelling plays an essential role in my children’s books and creative projects. I collaborate with illustrator James Parisi, whose work brings emotional depth, humor, and imagination to stories centered on curiosity, discovery, and connection.

James’s illustrations are grounded in observation and character. His work often explores the quiet emotional moments that shape how children understand the world—expressions, movement, atmosphere, and the small details that make a story feel alive. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, nature, and narrative tradition, his style balances warmth, playfulness, and thoughtful restraint.

Together, we approach storytelling as a dialogue between image and text. Illustration is not decoration, but interpretation—an invitation for readers to discover meaning through what they see as well as what they read.
