Susie is a member and featured illustrator of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and a former board member of The Illustration Conference (ICON).  Susie’s first picture book, What Will Hatch? (written by Jennifer Ward, Bloomsbury) was named a Bank Street Best Book of the Year. The companion book, What Will Grow?, will be published in 2017.  When not painting tiny paintings, illustrating children’s books, designing stationery and gifts, teaching at RISD, exhibiting her work internationally, shipping orders, or connecting with the illustration community, Susie lives in sunny San Diego with her husband and zillions of pets.

**STARRED REVIEW**"Counting from one to 10 is the usual math activity in simple picture books, but this one takes on other mathematical operations, too... Thanks to its gentle inconsistencies, this is a book that can expand children's thought processes."
