WRITING

 

I write across genres—nonfiction, essays, and short stories (and, coming in 2027 and 2028, children’s books). More than anything, I delight in creating nonsense.

Meet Pablo! Meet Puff!: jump-off-the-page adorable duckling brothers, who like to do everything together.

Pablo loves chocolate chip cookies, dinosaurs, and running fast fast fast! But most of all, he loves his little brother, Puff. A regular day for them is action-packed and energy-filled, until a cartwheel gone wrong leads to a BIG accident. Do they confess? Or hide their mistake?

This adorable, voice-filled picture book by debut author Alice Bradley celebrates honesty, loyalty, and brotherly love. Illustrator Samantha Cotterill brings the duckling brothers to life in her over-the-top cute mix of diorama and cartoon style.

This first duckling outing is not to be missed!

From the moment they’re created until the day they steal our cars, our babies demand center stage in our lives. So join Alice and Eden as they tell you (and your lucky partner!) exactly what to think and feel and do, from morning sickness to baby’s first steps. They know everything!

The Kirkus Review said:

"An outrageously humorous, over-the-top guide to surviving pregnancy and child-rearing”
