New Book!

Little, Brown has accepted a new picture book manuscript called Brown Is Warm, Black Is Bright, all about the joys and beauties of these two gorgeous colors. (Ever noticed how often books on color actually leave out brown and black? What’s up with that?) I’m so happy this book has found a home! Can’t wait to hear who the illustrator will be.

Here is my favorite stanza. (Picture a child curled up in bed with a beloved pet.)

Brown is warm
and soft and breathing
curled up next to me.
