‘I believe Nicki will be a prominent voice in the children’s book world.’

Hi, I’m Nicki

I believe children’s books are a special kind of magic. They inspire flights of fancy and snorts of laughter, facilitate precious bedtime rituals of closeness and connection, engage readers in big conversations, and provide a resource for families grappling with challenges, from birth to death and everything in between. And they do these things, all in a format geared to little eyes, little ears, and little hearts!

My Body, My Rules and Keep Your Pants On! are out now from Scholastic Press, with more picture books coming soon! I can’t wait to share them with you.
