#Massachusetts friends I’ll be sharing HOPE AND THE SEA by me & Svetla Radivoeva 7/19 at Ten Tree Books in Natick.

If you know #picturebook lovers in the area that would enjoy a calming book about friendship by the ocean, send them our way for a read aloud and crafts!

The creativity of Corey R. Tabor in how he manipulates the physical book is a huge inspiration to me. I’m also inspired by Lauren Magaziner and how adeptly she weaves representation into her stories.
