Itty & Bitty Blog

Itty & Bitty here! Welcome to our Blog!

We LOVE to tell our stories.  Sometimes we let our author, Nancy, join in, but we prefer to tell our stories without her!  We hope you enjoy our adventures and stop back frequently to see what we are up to.

Consider joining our email list to keep up on everything that's happening!


From Scribble to Sketch to Illustration

early scribbles of first few pages

OK! Bitty says Nancy can't draw, and he's right. That's why she has an illustrator! Rose has been the artist for our last three books. But when Nancy writes she sees everything in her head like a movie. When she and Rose sit down together to start a book, it's always a crazy, fun time. I bet you'd like to peek behind the scenes of this partnership. Well...I'm here to tell you about it.

It's Not Alway All About Us

Our readers often ask us if Nancy writes anything but poems about us! We like to keep this a secret, but in fact, she does. She writes all the time, about everything and everyone. Lots of funny poems and ditties about things that happen when she's bike riding, kayaking, gardening....or doing just about anything. If a friend should spill chocolate ice cream on their shirt...well...there's a ditty.

We are ALL Ears

Micro and Oaxacan earsMicro and Longneck

Micro's ears are floppy.
Longneck's ears are wood.
Yet still they talk and listen,
As all good buddies should.

Bitty's ears are fuzzy.
Itty's ears are trim.
Itty likes the barbershop.
Bitty won't go in.

But whether trim or fuzzy,
Both hear and happily "neigh,"
At the sound of rustling plastic:
Carrots on the way!

Are those large ears radar?

Bitty Tells All: Nancy Cannot Draw

Illustrator Rose at Barnes and Noble

Many of our readers wonder who is responsible for those wonderful illustrations of us in our Itty Bitty book series. Well...it’s NOT NANCY! She can’t draw well enough to get on a Pictionary team.

OK, she can write, and loves to rhyme silly ditties about our mini-antics, but when it comes to the illustrations, she has to have a professional. That’s where Rose comes in.
