 The Marriage of Poire and Poireau
Originally created in 1995 as a wedding gift for Abby's oldest son and his wife, The Marriage of Poire and Poireau tells the whimsical story of a contemporary New York couple, Poire and Poireau, who live with their adopted cat, Tosca, in Manhattan.
The story introduces their families and friends, and details how they do everything with their beloved Tosca. One rainy day Poireau proposes marriage and Poire accepts. They shop for wedding clothes and select music for the reception. The wedding goes smoothly....and then, something unexpected happens
Abby is creating new drawings for The Marriage of Poire and Poireau and hopes to publish it next. The book is bilingual, with a French translation by Geneviève Laverne.

 The Island of Poire and Poireau
The third book in the series takes place on an island in the Mediterranean where Poire, Poireau and Tosca have gone camping. They are followed by three mysterious characters who look like Poireau but are skinnier and pointier. They are in fact wild leeks--poireaux sauvages--and they take our friends unwillingly to the mountains.
The Island of Poire and Poireau is in progress, due to be completed later in 2006.
