Hello! My name is Patricia, and I make up stories, draw lots of pictures, and generally take care of everything on our little homestead in the Texas Hill Country.

You can usually find me barefoot in the garden, chatting with the chickens, or multi-tasking with the kids’ homeschooling while I sketch prehistoric critters on my iPad.

Drawing, storytelling, and curiosity for the natural world has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. Now I share what I create with my five young children, and their passion and love of life is inspiring!

Here on the site I am Pete’s assistant, and I help him care for critters like Skittles here. Find out more about the books, shop, and blog in the links below.
