Hello, ’02s!

Kate Siber sent me an update, “I have two bits of news: I am now officially a cancer survivor, having made it through treatment for stage II breast cancer. I just want to mention it in case anyone is going through something similar and is in need of support or beta. And, on a more fun note, I had a delightful project that I finished up during treatment: a large-format, nonfiction children’s book called 50 Adventures in the 50 States that came out in early October. It’s basically a gorgeously illustrated, educational, nature-factoid-packed adventure bucket list for kiddos. I hope kids (and parents!) love it!”

Kate is right—the book is gorgeous! I ordered it for my kids so at least they can see the country that I hope one day we’ll get to travel around again. Please send me your updates—and best wishes for a better and brighter 2021!
