I’m excited to be working on a new story called FLIGHT SCHOOL. It’s a whimsical tale featuring an irrepressible penguin. I’m still in the early stages of the creative process so will wait till later to share more story details, but wanted to share this video of me drawing penguins. I often create my characters by drawing animals from life – observing how they move, noticing small details of their features.
Then slowly, as I keep drawing, my imagination takes over.

Hi, Lita,
Congrats! What wonderful news!! I can’t wait. Take care and enjoy the project.
Best wishes, Sadami
The goggles are charming! Can’t wait to see more of this book Lita!
I loved watching you sketch, Lita. With what I learned from you last week about gesture drawing in your journal, it makes perfect sense. That swimming penguin made me smile.
I just read “Strange Creatures” to my entire family tonight. My husband — an anthropologist and the son of a biologist — stopped in his tracks as he was walking through the room and stayed to listen, too. We all loved that book, and now we look forward to reading everything you’ve written!
