A really personally meaningful project, these illustrations were made for the book Sunshine, Moonshine, a middle grade novel by Bonnie Christensen who sadly passed as she was working on this project. Carried across the finish line by her daughter, Emily Herder, who was my childhood friend, the book was posthumously published in 2024. I was honored and humbled to be asked to make these illustrations in Bonnie’s honor, as Bonnie was an early hero of mine.

This book was published by Onion River Press, edited by Riley Earle, and designed and art directed by Tina Christensen.
