Award-Winning Books, School Visits, and Workshops
This book is the most personal I’ve ever written, because it’s based not only on me, but my daughter. And improv! It doesn’t focus on the bits but on the emotional impact of the scenes and being on a supportive team.
In the cover copy I wrote that Ava has a “Technicolor inside but a black and white outside” and that’s what the artist was inspired by.
The art director is David DeWitt, and the cover artist is Yaoyao Ma Van As who was my first choice.
