***Holding On cover reveal and feature on Mr. Schu Reads!
We're so excited to partner with literary advocate John Schu of Mr. Schu Reads for the cover reveal of my upcoming picture book Holding On, illustrated by the amazing Isabel Roxas!
Holding On is about a young girl who spends song-filled summers with her music-loving grandmother in the Philippines, but when her beloved Lola starts slipping into silence and stillness, the girl helps her grandmother hold on with music and the joyful memories the songs bring.
This is the first Filipino picture book to be published by Simon & Schuster under its children's imprint Atheneum. I'm so grateful I get to share more of our stories with the world, and I hope that you can support this book when it comes out this August 2022!
Thank you to the wonderful Mr. Schu for hosting us! You can read more about the book on the link below!
