As a working mom of three kids 5 and under, I've engaged with her illustrations from her exquisite phone cases, to her witty greeting cards and now dynamic children's books. While Megan has a distinct style, she also has a unique ability to feel extremely relatable, making every purchase feel personal. My kids love the experience of Can You Do This? as much as I love reading it with them."
