I have these two planners to upload and that will be it for 2024 planners. Let me know if there's a theme you'd like to see in the future!

Through mischief and mayhem, the bees swarm together, but can they work fast enough to save the queen's parade?

Winter is almost here! Soon the bees of Beetown will seal their hive.

But first, Betty and her sisters must prepare for the royal parade. There is so much to do, and her boring big brothers refuse to help! They’re such a bunch of drones! All they do is hang around all day, eat all the food, and annoy the pollen out of everyone.

When the drones start causing trouble, Betty promises nothing will ruin the queen's big day. But uh-oh! Queen Blossom is already on her way!

Cats and dogs are the theme for my first batch of 2024 planners. I've had lots of people ask me for smaller planners, so I've made a couple 6"x9" sizes. I'm hoping to have them for the Sep 9 markets (fingers crossed!).

08/21/2023

The 2024 Planners are almost done!

I still have to create a few more covers, but the first batch are done and are currently going through review. I'm hoping to order them either this week or next week, but they should be available for September markets.

Stay tuned!

Tonia Polak's new book, The Royal Bee-tastrophe!, will be released this fall (date TBD). Show your support by following her page. More updates coming soon!

Today's the day! I'm excited to give you a sneak peak at some of the illustrations inside my new book, The Royal Bee-tastrophe! which was illustrated by the fabulous Luis Peres.

I need help deciding! I'm creating a set of collector cards for my Kickstarter campaign. There are 7 character cards altogether, and now I need to choose a back. I'm leaning toward the plain version, as I want the front to be the star, but at the same time, the image on the right feels like it's part of the book's brand.

What do you think?

We had a bit of drama today when our tent blew over! A big thank you to the quick acting vendors from neighbouring booths, United Way and Glitterbug Bath Bombs, and a big shout out to Angie Profilli for holding my ice cream! You guys saved the day! 🌪️⛺️🍦🧡
