It’s above freezing, so the baby and I are going to try and go on a walk today. Wish me luck 🫡

“Because of Sholar’s brave words… we know the oscillation between fear, hope, pain, relief, and grief of those who contemplate conception. And it is because of this that readers will know they are not alone.”

– Nikki Ummel, author of Bloom, Bayou Sonata, and Hush

Okay, who can give me insight on publishing a children’s book? I really have one in mind and have never even written a manuscript for one! 😬

“my attention was drawn away and to my calf. I swayed my leg back and forth, watching the fat, what I called the squish at the time, follow… there was no escape… On this day, I decided I hated my body.”

THE BODY OF A FROG follows a journey of a little girl’s hatred for herself to a trans man’s love for himself and his body, even the female parts of it. I want this book to empower anyone in their body, even after it disappoints you with a miscarriage 🐸❤️
