Chalk-like pale pink, yellow and blue font reads “COVER REVEAL. Out 9/23/25” Cover features a little girl with white skin and short auburn hair. She wears red rain boots and a white summer dress with flowers, frogs, balloons, etc on it. She’s dumping out a very large pile of colorful chalk from an orange bucket. In the background are grey clouds and some falling raindrops.

Luthier Joseph Yoo bent over to closely inspect my computer screen and Anita Bagdi’s beautiful illustrations. Above him are rows of violins hanging on the wall. (Behind him is a copy of My Piano!)
Joseph and I standing in front of his workshop bench. He is wearing his luthier apron. Tools, lacquers, etc are visible on the desk and shelves.
Front of the Fairfax Fine Violins store featuring its logo in the wall (Navy circle, gold lettering inside) A grand piano sits below and there are shelves stocked with violin cases as well as music books.
Cool, artsy clock on the wall. Clock face is embedded into a wooden violin case.
Highlight- visiting Fairfax Fine Violins to review the sketches of MY VIOLIN with violin maker Joseph Yoo!
Grateful for the careful time and attention & the peek at a real violin workshop.
MY VIOLIN is on its way Spring 26! @anitab.bsky.social #GnomeRoadPublishing
