I’m so pleased to announce my very first graphic novel, illustrated by the fabulous Jorge Lacera!

Every fairy tale needs a fairy. Because sometimes stories go off the rails, and this fairy knows just what to do to fix them.

Actually, he doesn’t . . . He makes it up as he goes along.

And sometimes he needs help. A lot of help. Which is where Mouse comes in.

Together, she and Fairy will make sure this tale has a happily ever after—just maybe not the one you expect.

“Artfully retold. A funny, energetic riff on a familiar tale.”
