I saw the final cover today!! I love it so much! The title changed to Ruthie Rose’s Big Idea! Travis Jonker is revealing the cover next month!

Farin Mendis and I experienced this very joyful moment after I delivered 3 presentations and signed books for 70 minutes! She helped make so many moments of connection possible! I’m grateful!!!!
