The Making of You Polly Purple

You've been through a lot. I know because I went through a lot. When tough events have come upon me in life, I have always found insight and comfort in the pages of a book. I made this book because I wanted to celebrate the generosity, teamwork and love that brought my kids in to being. I wanted to make a book that felt beautiful and even a touch magical. I hope you find some sense of these qualities in these pages.
