A very special box is here — I’ve been on Mat leave and so tired, but then this came and I am so overwhelmed I can’t even open it right now. 🥲 SOS it’s going to be on my table until I can gather myself enough to open it. #kidlit #picturebook #debut #author #writingsky #authorsky

Add newborn crying, cooing or staring at me intently in the background. 😅 This WIP #amwriting has all the heart I have though.
