This week, I signed a contract for my third picture book! I’d like to share all the details, but for now, I can tell you that it’s a nonfiction picture book scheduled for Spring 2023 with Groundwood Books. Oh, the anticipation!

This manuscript took 28 drafts (so far) to find its path, and it’s had plenty of help along the way. A shout-out to my critique groups and partners for all their insights. A special shout-out to the Vermont College of Fine Arts, which helped me learn how to write this new-to-me genre. And much gratitude to my agent Ginger Knowlton of Curtis Brown for her support, as well as Groundwood for seeing the potential in this manuscript.
