and Estelle Nadel who entrusted her story to me with this book. i've been dreaming of publishing a graphic novel since i was little, so this is really a dream come true. i couldn't be happier that my first book is one as meaningful and important as this story 🩵⭐️🩵

THE GIRL WHO SANG is OUT TODAY!! 🩵⭐️🩵 i started working on this book back in 2019, and what a long journey it's been! thank you to my editor Mekisha Telfer and my agent Charlie Olsen, my family and friends who were such a huge support for me throughout the process, (cont.)

THE GIRL WHO SANG has gotten a starred review from Kirkus!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and THE GIRL WHO SANG comes out tomorrow!! i'm so thankful for such a wonderful review, and grateful that it came before Estelle passed so that she was able to read it and know that her story resonated. 🩵

I'm so grateful that I got to work with her and that she trusted me with her story. While it feels strange and sad to promote the book without her, spreading her story is what she wanted, and so I'm going to do the best I can to put it out there and encourage people to read it.

Estelle Nadel, author of The Girl Who Sang, passed away on November 28, 2023. I worked very closely with her for four years on this book and I'm so devastated that she's gone. I wrote more here in an insta post: www.instagram.com/p/C1huNa3rXu...
