my 1st translated book

Just a quick note that I recently received THE OTHER SIDE OF TOMORROW in Turkish. It's my first book to be translated, and I'm so grateful to the publisher Yuzukitap! If you read Turkish, check it out! I love that they want every book to feel like a gift, and so they include stickers, a postcard made by the illustrator, and a ribbon bookmark! Up next, the French edition on Sept. 10th, 2025! Read more of this blog post »
