On Feb. 21, 2024, I released my first picture book, The Wonder of Under. As a self-publishing author, it has been a whirlwind of learning, and I’m still navigating this exciting path. Self-publishing is a unique experience, filled with both challenges and rewards, but one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is the power of partnership with my readers.
