Dear Librarians,

Growing up, my favorite activities were drawing, reading comic books, and playing video games. Eventually, I attended an art school and got a job working in the video game industry. I even created my own award-winning kid's app, Pocket Worlds.

With my debut picture book, I wanted to combine all the things that I loved most — art, animals, and game design.

HEY, WHO MADE THIS MESS? follows a zookeeper as she and her animal friends try to figure out who is leaving a great big mess in their zoo. As the animal friends dig deeper into the mystery, their fears of what it might be grows as well. Is it a SLEEPY monster? Or a SCRATCHY monster? Or is it something totally unexpected?

YOU the reader will search for tiny hidden clues in each page that will help solve the case. And if you don't see it the first time, you can always go back and read it again!

Thank you and I hope you enjoy my book!

Thank you!
