Happy Boopday! 🎉

This is the most adorable dog picture book you will EVER read.

Once you open SHAKTI, you can't put it down. I acquired this book 9m pregnant (typically when editors are not adding to their list) because of exactly that. I had the absolute honor to work with SJ Sindu and Nabi H. Ali is LOOKING FOR WORK before the amazing Megan Ilnitzki took the reins.

Of course my CPs & the kind writing community

Yours truly donated a picture book critique so please go bid!

This was a very special book I acquired when I was pregnant with my son. While editing it, I kept imagining how would I want to raise him and who did I want him to grow up to be. I can't wait to read it to him in March. He'll be 2.5 then (that's just how publishing works lol).
