#IBCawards2025 #Longlist
Until You Find the Sun was in the long list for the Inclusive Books for Children awards. I’ve wanted to be an author since I was a kid and to have that dream be a reality at 39 is so awesome. I’m still stunned the book I wrote in my car in Chicago is out there in the world #authors #ibcawards2025
