Rachel brings her playful illustration style to the popular 2023 release, How to Hatch a Reader, written by Kari Ann Gonzalez. This book is a favorite "go-to" story for parents, teachers, and curious chicks alike. Rachel's adorable illustrations pair perfectly with this guide to hatching young readers, filled with tools to allow words to fly off the pages. But watch out! Rachel's fox is sure to cause a stir in the coop!

When you're done reading the first book, you'll be egg-cited to see what Rachel does with How to Hatch a Writer, releasing with GRP in the fall of 2025. Those fabulous hens return with their big red pens to teach sneaky "Goldifox" a thing or two about writing whole sentences.
