Hey oh-
I am not a huge fan of long blogs, so I won't do that, but if you've come here to pass a few minutes while your takeout order is on the way, or you are in a doctor's waiting room... welcome! I just want to say hello and thank you for landing here on my new website. I'll be posting more content as the launch of "A Mole in One" gets closer to publication and possibly some other nuggets of wisdom (you can be the judge of that) and interesting links. 
For this post, one thing I would like to express is that I wholeheartedly appreciate all of the support I have felt so far with this project. So many well wishes and so much love has been humbling. My cockles are thoroughly warmed.  Thank you! 
I also want to publicly acknowledge my complete admiration and respect for the brilliant artist of this picture book, Xiao. What a pleasure it has been working with her from day one. She may be a magician...still not clear how she reaches into my imagination. For more of her work, please visit her on IG or Reedsy. 
Thank you and enjoy your weekend-
-Thérèse
PS: If you have questions, feel free to drop them on the contact page and I'll do my best. I'm new to this, as well, but I know an awful lot about children, speech and language, and moles.
