Coming in September!
Jessica and I met at a workshop five years ago. She had a story I could not forget. We agreed to work together. Sharing back and forth to get every word right has been gratifying and joyful and now with illustrations by Gina Maldonado it’s almost here.
As if being new to the United States wasn’t hard enough, Isabella’s first day of school is canceled due to snow!
Isabella has recently arrived from Colombia with her mother to live with Abuela. She misses Papa, who is still in South America. It’s her first day of school, her make-new-friends day. Everything is ready, her new jeans and fluffy sweater, a notebook and new crayons she will share with new friends. But snow is falling like a thousand white butterflies and school is canceled! Isabella misses warm, green, Colombia more than ever. Then she meets Katie and finds out that making friends in the cold is easier than she thought!
See A Thousand White Butterflies on Amazon. Pre-pub orders are available now.
