Finished copies of SUMMER IS FOR COUSINS arrived today, and they are absolutely beautiful!
This book exists because my agent asked me to write a summer story. And so I thought back to my many childhood summers with my cousins, and all the fun we used to have…but also the awkwardness and slight worry that after not seeing them for a while, they would have changed so much that they wouldn’t remember me or all the things we loved to do together. Luckily, that was never true. 
But it started the seed of this story!
But it started the seed of this story!Abhi Alwar brought so much love and talent. She gave each of the cousins a distinct personality and imagined the photograph theme that carries through the book. And the art is stunning!
SUMMER IS FOR COUSINS releases May 16 from Abrams Kids and is available for preorder today!
