In Lettuce Get in Trouble, Sara Little helps children understand the basics of design: observing the world around them, asking questions, and making a plan that will help them create new things.

I have worked closely with designers Linda Kuo and Paula Rees, part of the Design Center in Seattle, to create this picture book about Sara Little Turnbull, an American product designer, design innovator and educator. 
The illustrations are enriched with dozens of details and inventive solutions that Sara’s legacy inspired.
