One little squiggle? What else could it be?
​
​
Follow a young girl armed with a sketchpad and a big imagination as she scooters to Squiggleville, an imaginary place where she joins a circus, explores a jungle, swims with sea creatures, and more. Everywhere she goes, she discovers more things that one little squiggle could be, and she makes squiggly sketches to document it all. Then, drawing inspiration from her adventures in Squiggleville, she returns home and makes the ultimate squiggle art masterpiece.
​
With its catchy, rhyming text, beautiful illustrations, one-of-a-kind squiggle art made by real kids, and uplifting message about the incredible power of human creativity, One Little Squiggle inspires artists of all ages to think outside the box and make their own squiggle doodles.
Now, it’s your turn. Go on- get creative!

The book design is complete! Book Designer Lauren Gallegos and I have completed our collaboration on One Little Squiggle, and the book is ready to print and publish! 🙌
All proofs have arrived! All book files have been uploaded to two self-publishing platforms (Amazon's KDP and IngramSpark), and I've ordered proof copies from each. All paperback and hardcover proofs have arrived, and they look beautiful! Here is a photo of me proudly holding the paperback proofs:

And here's a preview of the first several spreads in the book:
The public squiggle art looks amazing! To complement Polina Gortman's professional illustrations, I have incorporated 70+ squiggle art masterpieces made by family, friends, and fans. Some of the public squiggle art is interspersed throughout the story, while other masterpieces are included on the book's custom endpages. All of the squiggle art looks amazing, and it marries really well with Polina's illustrations- I can't wait to showcase this unique artwork in the finished book! 🙌 To view a small sample of the selected squiggle art, check out my Squiggle Art Wall of Fame!

So...what's next? Right now, I'm working hard to prepare the book for publication and am planning to launch the book on May 13th, 2025! Stay tuned...😃🙌
