Her other titles include The Blue House, Backyard Fairies, Phoebe’s Diary (Little, Brown 2023) and the forthcoming Story Rug with Sophie Blackall (Little, Brown, 2026) and Around the Wheel of the Year with Danica Boyce (Chronicle, 2027).Her clients include Magic The Gathering, The New York Times, Patagonia. Phoebe lives in Bellingham, Washington with her family and two rambunctious cats.
