I’m not travelling right now, but my book is!

Thanks to Matt Briel and the team at Lulu Press, she’s at the London Book Fair happening this week at the London Olympia in West Kensington (not far from where my dad went to school). I hope they take her out for kebabs or curry and a spin around Trafalgar Square. Thanks guys! #LBF25

I Miss My Mommy: 150 Portraits of Orphaned Adults is the world’s first picture book for big people without parents. It takes readers right to the heart of the five stages of grief through 150 hand-drawn portraits, some grim, some funny, but all relatable. The stage you’re in may change by the hour, or even the minute. I Miss My Mommy helps readers struggling with grief sit with emotions they’d rather avoid but can’t stop feeling.

Because sometimes we need images to explain the language of loss (Kirkus starred review; a Kirkus Best Book of 2024).
