Only 2 months until Claude is on the shelves! ❤️🐾 The story follows a young girl attempting to recreate Claude Monet's Poppy Field Near Vetheuil while her playful puppy, Claude, causes a colorful mess that eventually becomes a "masterpiece in disguise".

@KatieJoyBlake I hope you will be able to get a copy of my wordless book releasing May, 19. ❤️ I am so excited because it received a starred review from School Library Journal. amzn.to/4ulKtgq

@JelliebeanJulie @KTerrette Thanks, Julie! It was a GOOD email!

@PhyllisHarris @KTerrette Wow! That is fabulous! Congratulations!

BEST email from your editor after you have turned in your final picture book art that says, "I took a brief look at your illustrations, and they took my breath away. I’m so blessed to have you on my list! " NOTE: The GIF is very appropriate for the book. More soon! @KTerrette

@DJChristie6 @KTerrette Thank you, my dear friend!

PLAN AHEAD! Are you looking for a graduation gift? CLAUDE (releasing May 19) is a beautiful reminder that your graduates don’t need to have it all figured out to begin their journey. Sometimes the "messy" starts lead to the most beautiful endings. #ClassOf2026 #GraduationGift

@Audrey_suau @KTerrette Thank you!

@PhyllisHarris @KTerrette It looks fantastic , congrats !

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! This art is from my new picture book, CLAUDE, out May 19th, and has already received a starred review from School Library Journal! Hooray! I love creating art for #PictureBooks, #BoardBooks, and #BookCovers. I am represented by @kterrette.

Our son was in a car accident last night and rushed to the hospital. Currently stable. Internal bleeding. We’re still hours away. Please pray.

A lyrical book that teaches children ways to “see” the wind. Journey throughout a little girl’s day from sunrise to sunset on her farm by the sea as the wind entertains her. #windbook #earlyliteracy #kidlit #windy

Since Brinkley was the muse for my picture book, Claude, I thought it was only right for him to be the first one to see the galley proof.  I think he is trying to say, “Read it to me, mom!” ❤️🐾 Available for pre-order now and releases May 19!

@theislandwriter I have enjoyed watching your amazing journey! Congratulations and best wishes! 😊❤️
