Front cover of the picture book Where We Come From. It features the title at a very large size with a variety of images shown within the letters, including portions of the faces of the four authors as young people and scenes of nature and landscapes that echo imagery depicted within the book.
Incredibly proud that the picture book WHERE WE COME FROM by Diane Wilson, @sunyungshin.bsky.social, @shannongibney.bsky.social, John Coy, and Dion MBD is a One Book | One Minnesota read this spring!
