If Only I Had

My first children's picture book was published in November 2021. It is a simple book, meant for ages 0-4, about the color White, who feels inadequate when it compares itself to the other colors, but in the end realizes it was special just the way it was!

5-Star review from Reader's Favorite: “If Only I Had is a fun story with an important message. Kids are never too young to start learning to love and appreciate their uniqueness.”

Counting Toasters 1 to 10

Counting Toasters 1 to 10 features fun rhymes, colorful illustrations, and is a perfect book for reading out loud at bedtime. The cute toasters are seen playing games, eating snacks, and just plain living their best lives! The book counts from one to ten, then from ten back down to one again.

5-Star Review from Reader's Favorite: "McAndrews’s Counting Toasters 1 to 10 has all the elements of a great picture book. The story is imaginative and funny, and the language is simple. The flow is logical, and the rhyme and rhythm relaxing."

Toaster Haiku

A short collection
With pictures and everything!
All Toaster Haiku.

Toaster Haiku offers readers a taste of my whimsical world of small kitchen appliances. This book consists of 38 haiku poems, all written about toasters or toaster-related subjects (like burnt toast and bagels.) Each poem is accompanied by hand-drawn black ink illustrations. While Toaster Haiku is short enough to be an excellent bedtime read for children, readers of all ages will enjoy the imaginative subjects and fun illustrations.

5-Star Review from Reader's Favorite: "The language is playful and engaging, the subject matter unique and intriguing, and the overall package is a sweet little treasure, sure to give the reader a lift on even the most stubborn of down days. McAndrews’ own jaunty and imaginative illustrations accompany the haiku, adding a level of depth and interest."

Where Do My Brothers Go?

A little girl named Jeannie loves her family so much! Her family is her Mommy, Daddy, big sister, and two big brothers. But she only gets to see her big brothers for a few days each month. Where do her brothers go when they leave Jeannie's house?
​
​Where Do My Brothers Go? is the story of a blended family where only some of the children share their time between their parents' houses. The book is a great way to explain to young kids about blended families, written from the perspective of a preschooler.
