Just realized that I never shared about my new 2025 picture book release here on BlueSky! Receiving so much love and excitement from teachers and librarians for this one. I've seen glimpses of the artwork and it is AMAZING! Can't wait to share more.

Happy Book Birthday to LOVE IS HERE WITH YOU!
We celebrated at Books of Wonder. My baby, now all grown up, accompanied me on the flute as we performed the lullaby I sang to her & her sister oh so long ago - the one that inspired this book.
