The Story

Hi! I’m Kit—an author and illustrator who’s absolutely obsessed with bright watercolor, nature, and telling jokes.

This book is about sharing those loves with wonder—finding joy in the silly, and getting lost in beautiful art.

I made this for families of all kinds: to laugh together, look at art together, and meet some unusual, unforgettable animals.
It’s a love letter to nature, art, and silliness.

In these pages, you’ll meet:
🎩 A secretary bird who may or may not cheat at checkers
🧸 A koala with a puppet
🦔 A timid yet creative pangolin
📚 And a sloth with a deep love of pop-up dinosaur books

It’s silly. It’s surprising. It’s not-so-sneakily educational.
And yes—it’s all true!

🧡 Let’s Do This Together

I’m so excited to share this experiment in joy, art, and nature.
And I’m really glad you’re here.

Your support doesn’t just help print a book—it helps launch a whole world of strange creatures, joyful nonsense, and cozy education.

Will you read it in a blanket fort? In pajamas on the couch? On the train home with some snicky-snacks? (Chocolate is my favorite—save me some!)

However you enjoy it, I hope it makes you laugh, makes you curious, and reminds you how fun it is to explore something weird and wonderful together.

Whether you grab a copy, share the link, or commission a watercolor of your cat conducting an orchestra—thank you.
You’re helping something delightfully weird come to life.
