Developing Dawn:
A Picture Book Adventure with Bibado:
Dawn the Dinosaur™ stars in her first adventure, Dawn's First Tooth, a lift-the-flap adventure book, developed in conjunction with Rachel Wood and Bibado.
I illustrated and co-wrote the new book Dawn's First Tooth, designed the characters and collaborated on the design of the award-winning Dawn the Dinosaur™ teether.
In 2022, I joined Bibado to develop characters for a new product line, Dawn the Dinosaur
