SURPRISE!!! 🎉 Sandie Sonke Illustration & I just finished up the cover for our 4th book together, coming in 2023! 📙🥳![]()
![]()
In the past, I haven’t shared new book titles/covers until closer to the release date, but this time around I’d like to try and share more with you throughout the actual book-creating journey (sketches, sneak peeks, etc.) so here ya have it! 💞![]()

As you probably guessed by the title, this new one will be a follow up to Our Class is a Family! 🥰![]()
![]()
The premise:![]()
![]()
Kids have their immediate family that they live with, but extended relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) make up a special part of a family too! ![]()
![]()
You can see where this is going- it’s similar at school! Students have their teacher & each other within their classroom walls, but they also have an extended family there to support them ❤️![]()
![]()
Specifically, all of the amazing people who are a big piece of the heart of a school:![]()
![]()
Librarians, speech pathologists, school counselors, administrators, custodians, school secretaries, reading specialists, cafeteria workers, and parent volunteers, just to name a few 🏫 ![]()
![]()
And you’ll find them all represented in this new book! 🙌🏼 ![]()

My hope for “Our School is a Family” is that it will help students feel extra safe, loved, & supported, and encourage kids to form positive relationships with (and show appreciation toward) the helpers at their school!![]()

I am so excited to share more about this book with you in the months to come!! 📖 ![]()

P.S. Speaking of “months,” my very warmest congrats to Sandie, who is Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators![]()
Illustrator of the Month! So very well-deserved!!! 🥂💗![]()

It’s a meaningful way to reflect on all their memories from the year, and they can take it home as a special keepsake on the last day of school! ![]()
