Congrats on wrapping up the book! For the next newsletter, I think a farm tour sounds delightful. But I know whatever you choose to do will be delightful. Looking forward to it.

Gah! Would love to hear your questions and the Tamakis’ responses, but alas live so far from Portland-- maybe an industrious audience member will film and put it on YouTube? 🥸🙏 Congrats on finishing the book!

Congratulations on crossing the finish line! What a journey! I'd LOVE to see a painting or embroidery tutorial. With all the turmoil of the world I feel the only thing that is steadying my soul is sinking my hands into something tangible and directly in front of me. Having you talk us through something tactile would be a balm and a joy, though whatever you choose to share with us will be a delight!

Congratulations!!! & I’m doing an event with the Tamakis this Friday for Roaming at CCA SF. I still need to finish it—but your warm words about the graphic novel are exciting to hear.

I heard Jillian and Mariko Tamaki interviewed on q on CBC Radio about this book. It was a really good interview and might give you some inspiration for your chat with them!
