The past year has been filled with so much light, so much air. Thank you for buying and reading my book. Thank you for inviting me to visit your classrooms, libraries, book clubs, and podcasts. In short, thank you for making this a year I will never, ever forget. 💛🤍🩵

And the snow,
while it is here,
reminds us of this:
that nothing lasts forever
except memories.

its white flag waving over everything,
the landscape vanished…”

A lot of wonderful, unexpected things have happened in the six months since LIGHT AND AIR came out. One of the best and most unexpected(!) things arrived this week: A group of wonderful fifth graders and their equally wonderful teacher made a book ABOUT my book and sent me a copy! 🥹💛🤍🩵

Many thanks to this fifth grader whose illustrated review of LIGHT AND AIR made my whole day (week, month, year...). And thank you to her thoughtful teacher for making sure I got it. 💛🤍🩵
