Welcome to Bark Park, where dogs of every shape, size, and personality romp and roam.

Energetic rhymes are punctuated with cheerful illustrations that bring each individual pet vividly to life in a bouncy, fast-paced, frolicking doggone fun! This affectionate look at our canine companions reminds us why we love them.

She has worked as an editor, a reviewer, and a librarian and is the author and illustrator of picture and middle grade books. She lives in New York.
"An exuberant offering that will be a hit with many young dog lovers."—Booklist

"The jaunty rhyming text and bright watercolor collages showcase dogs of all shapes and sizes. . . this canine tour de force should amuse and amaze dog fans for its delightful diversity."—Kirkus Reviews
