I recently received an author’s copy of my upcoming children’s picture book, I Was—the stories of animal skulls, published by Candlewick Press, illustrated by Natasha Donovan. What a treat to have a real copy!

The book will be available in early April. Advance copies have drawn some nice comments from reviewers, including “…a poetic appreciation for nature and the animals that cohabitate in our world…” (Edelweiss review from a bookseller), and “…both the facts presented and the plea to appreciate the multiple ways nature speaks to us are clear.” (Betty Carter, Horn Book).

Contact me if you want to know more about the book. It can be pre-ordered from Candlewick.
