I loved seeing how her research impacted both her writing and her illustrations, like making sure the bathing suits were from the right time period in one of her books. She showed students how a book is published and walked them through what each step looked like in pictures and videos. We learned about her family stories and interests, which inspired many of her books. She showed them how her writing and illustrating evolved through High School and College.

She is the award-winning author/illustrator of books such as Pop the Invention of Bubble Gum, The Aliens Are Coming, and The Incredible Life of Balto. ![]() ![]() We had a wonderful day in the Barrow Media Center learning from author and illustrator, Meghan McCarthy. ![]()
