For those blue voters and the undecided, I've created an Open Board Book over at On Point. You can see and share the full text and imagery of WHAT HURTS EVERYONE as you prepare to #Vote!
Take care in this season of difficulty and change!

Happy Book Birthday: I Say a Little Prayer for You at Bedtime
And she's born today! As the author, I'm so happy to share this lullaby of peace with our first readers. I hope I Say a Little Prayer for You at Bedtime calms spirits and comforts as each settles down to sleep.
I actually wrote the work in the middle of the night, and it was during our collective mourning following the passing of the great Aretha Franklin. I will always hear her sing the title of this work, set by my delightful editor, Celia Lee.
Olivia Chin Mueller's soft illustrations of falling night create a perfect tone for the text. Her detailed strokes sweep across the imagery.
"Little ones curl up and rest, bless each home and tiny nest."
Whether you are curling up to sleep or "still zooming 'round," may this work find you and yours full of peace.
(The bear in the photo I received from my father on the day I was born. She's about to turn 56!)
