JABARI JUMPS, Gaia's debut picture book from Candlewick Press, was a Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book, and was featured in People Magazine, and The New York Times, among other accolades. Its companion book, JABARI TRIES, came out in 2020. All about being a Maker, persistence, teamwork and how-to-keep-your-cool-when-things-don’t-go-your-way (aka “Being A Human Is Hard”, Lesson #56) –and Jabari’s little sister gets a name!
In between, she illustrated THE UNICORN CAME TO DINNER, written by Lauren DeStefano, from Roaring Brook Press. Most recently, THE BEST BED FOR ME, from Candlewick Press, hit shelves in May 2022. Perfect for those kiddos who love animals and want bedtime stories to last all night long. At the moment, she's working on a picture book about walking in the woods and looking for ever elusive fairies. –Coming from Candlewick Press 2024.
