Leo the cat likes his happy place at home, no matter how much Daisy the dog pesters him to go on adventures. But when a mischievous cricket hops in his path, Leo can’t resist the urge to chase, even if it takes him on a terrifying journey with Daisy. When Leo confronts something he detests more than adventures, he must choose whether he wants to stay miserable or try and find happiness where he is. Joyride is a story of taking risks and learning how to find happiness wherever you are.

I am thrilled to share our second picture book, Joyride, will be out November 1, 2019.

The picture above is the inspiration image from the illustrator, Becky McKinness, at FayBecca Designs. We loved the fun and excitement of the ride but changed one of the characters to a grouchy cat named Leo. Becky was thrilled to recently have her work featured on the cover of The New Barker. She has a full article in the magazine on how she became an artist here.

Daisy the dog is based off her real pup, Daisy, who is also a fun-loving adventurer. We are excited about collaborating on this project and bringing the story to life. Stay tuned for more updates about Joyride!

I am thrilled to be collaborating with the author, Arielle Haughee, on this sweet story about three very different animal friends who set out on an adventure and a “Joyride” together. I look forward to the publish date!
