As some of you know, I've been involved with the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) for a number of years. I recently started guest posting book reviews. Two more just went live on their website. To read my reviews for A Guide for Adults with Hip Dysplasia and Anatomy Riot, click here. 

I just started reviewing books about hip dysplasia for the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IDHI). There are quite a few  now, which makes me happy! When I wrote The Parents' Guide to Hip Dysplasia I couldn't find any books—just medical journal articles.
My first book review is for Hope, the "Hip" Hippo by Gina Jay and Julie Beattie, illustrated by Cheri Turner. You can my book review here.

​For those of you who don't already know, I'm on the Advisory Committee for the IDHI, which is a nonprofit organization. I've helped them out in various ways over the years

I've been working on a new picture book with Erin Garcia. I love the way it's turning out! Here's a sneak peak at one of the illustrations created by the super talented Ivreese. For more information, visit Tiger Livy Project. I'll post again when this book is ready to go live. 

I'm happy to announce that I'll be working with the nonprofit Clubfoot CARES on this project. We're selling shirts, aiming to cover costs such as cover design, hiring an editor, and paying the writers whose stories are selected for this book.
