Today is a very special book birthday for TAKE IT APART by @kateywrites.bsky.social and Elizabet Vukovic. Katey worked SO hard over so many years to write a manuscript she felt would be a worth companion to BE A MAKER.

Front cover of the picture book Take It Apart by Katey Howes, illustrated by E.V. The letters of the title are made from a variety of objects, including bones, sticks, a paint tube, and various tools. Beneath the large title is a light-skinned girl with curly medium-brown hair wearing red glasses, a dark gray dress with light gray bursts, and red tights. She is using a paint scraper to scrape off what appears to be wallpaper beneath the letter "A" in Apart, which also appears to have been scraped off.
