Two sisters symbolically cast away their regrets from the previous year by throwing pieces of bread into water, reflecting on their past mistakes @rebeccaglevington.bsky.social @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

A wonderful Kirkus review for Finding Forgiveness!
Gardyn Levington’s rhyming couplets skillfully capture the narrator’s emotional journey, while Mayo’s deftly illustrated, light-filled spreads and pastel colors convey the joy of the holiday @rebeccaglevington.bsky.social @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

Phew! It’s a GOOD day. I’ve just completed the artwork for a #picturebook! 🥳
I’ve really enjoyed painting this project - but you’ll have to wait a year till I can show you the fruits of my labour! 😅
For now, a rest…
