Happy to share the beautiful animated cover of SOURGRASS! It brought a smile to me instantly. A story about two best friends who, whether they’re right next door or far apart, find a way to keep their friendship alive. It will be out next month, March 26!

I'm grateful for New York Times Books' thoughtful review of Louder Than Hunger. This line means everything to me: "There is no glorification of anorexia here; Jake's misery is apparent from the first page."
