K.G.’s second author-illustrated picture book, The Mermaid and the Shoe is available now from Kids Can Press. The book received a Starred Review from Kirkus.

“Delicate, ethereal watercolor-and-colored pencil illustrations rely on muted blue-gray washes accented with splashes of color to convey Neptune’s underwater kingdom, with its flora and fauna…Although this luminous tale of self-discovery hs echoes of ‘The Litte Mermaid,’ like Minnow, it sings its own strong song.”
