Do you recognize this lovely being?

This is Fatima Rashad , the Illustrator of the beautiful creations seen in the ANIMOODS children's book collection.

She flew into Denver and I was fortunate enough to spend the day with her. We visited the Denver Arts Museum and enjoyed brunch downtown.

Just a little sneak peek of Petro the Petrified Platypus. You will fall in love with this adorable Platypus from Argentina who is afraid of absolutely EVERYTHING!

Children will have the opportunity to join Petro as he begins his journey of self-awareness while overcoming feelings of fear and anxiety.

Petro will make his debut early summer. I hope to see each of you at the next launch party.
