Hey look at this! Look!! 🥰

Today I received my sample copy from the printer of my children’s picture book and I am so freaking excited! I love it. It’s perfect!

Now all I have to do is get batch printing done, list my book on websites and Amazon and such and I will officially be a published author!

Stay tuned!! 🌱🌸

A great big huge shout out to my illustrator… everyone has commented on how beautiful the illustrations are! The printers, the kids, the teachers…. Everyone! Thank you Dileema!

My daughter and I visited in Portland Oregon this weekend and of course I had to purchase some children’s picture books! Each one of these books is so lovely! And it just made me excited for my book to be printed and in my hand soon and maybe one day on the bookshelf of independent bookstores. 🥰🙏

Fun fact: On the Way Back started with a simple idea—helping children notice the wonders of nature that are often right in front of them. 🥰🌱🌸
