A wonderful Kirkus review for Finding Forgiveness! Gardyn Levington’s rhyming couplets skillfully capture the narrator’s emotional journey, while Mayo’s deftly illustrated, light-filled spreads and pastel colors convey the joy of the holiday @rebeccaglevington.bsky.social @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

It’s #folktaleweek day 1 - MIST “Tree Fairy had wandered lost and alone for a while. She couldn’t see or feel clearly through the wintry mists that surrounded her.” I’ve written a simple #folktale of my own this year-just a little tale to weave prompts together. #folktaleweekmist #folktaleweek2024
