About the author

Music and the patterns on the piano were my first love, and writing came shortly after reading books like the Phantom Tollbooth. I write the images I see in my head.

Beautiful story and illustrations.

[Bethany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was an early supporter of this book on Kickstarter and the finished product went above and beyond my expectations. The story is a delightful and compelling "coming of age" tale that shows how we can push through fear and overcome our own obstacles to embrace the world around us. The artwork is simply beautiful: delicate black brush strokes that reveal true emotions of each character. This is a treasured story that will delight and entertain audiences of all ages.

The story is compelling, but the artwork is really the best part. A great book to share with your kids, or just read it yourself! Highly recommended.
