Hello everyone! I’m so excited to reveal the cover of my debut picture book, A River of Dust: The Life-Giving Link Between North Africa and the Amazon on VIvian Kirkfield’s blog!!! In the flat screen image, you won’t be able to see the foil that illuminates the dust. You’ll have to hold it in your hands for that. Looking forward to July 2023!!
Cheers!

Gorgeous, Jilanne! Love the whole concept! So looking forward to reading!
Thank you, Susanna! Wanting to read a picture book is like an itch you can’t scratch for years, LOL.

Yay! Yay! Yay! Congratulations, Jilanne! So exciting. And what did you do to celebrate?
Thank you, Laura!!! 🥰My husband’s out of town. My son’s away at school. I had a Hagen Daz bar and walked the dog twice. 😂🎉and enjoyed a gorgeous day in SF. Enjoyed just being alive on this amazing planet. 🥰❤️Will have gelato with my husband this weekend at the best place in SF. 🥰🎉
Those are all good ways to celebrate! Enjoy every step of this wonderful book.
