      Sarah, this is a wonderful book! Thanks for sharing it. I love your work, but most of all, for me, it is very reassuring and motivating to see a fellow SVSer producing a book. I'm in the process too.
      Did you compose that 'Dear reader' note? It's very good!
      Very best wishes for your next book.

          @Adam-Thornton-0 Thank you!!! Yes, I rewrote everything to fit my retelling of the story. Excited to see what you’re working on, too! Keep me posted.

            How exciting! I just finished the CBPro class and in our final Zoom session the instructors mentioned your book. Of course, I had to check it out. I love it! What an accomplishment! You've motivated me to keep working on my manuscript and illustrations.

              @Sarah-VanDam congratulations!! It looks awesome. Too bad my kids can't read English. The end note is indeed hilarious.

                        @Sarah-VanDam I love how you took liberties with the text! And the witch wearing a Black Forest hat is a nice touch too. I did a lot of Black Forest research for mine too, and so I recognize many of your visual elements. I really like your take on the story, and I agree that going through the whole process is a confidence builder that teaches about ideation, page turns, pacing, character consistency, and scheduling one's time.

                        👏 👏👏...and good luck with your next book!
