“To Timbuktu”

As the back of our book will say:

Casey and Steven met in Morocco, moved to China, then went all the way to Timbuktu.

Her words and his illustrations tell the story of their first two years out of college spent teaching English, making friends across language barriers, researching, painting, and learning to be themselves wherever they are.

After many, many drafts we are now in the last stages of scanning the final art, tweaking the layout, and finalizing a cover. Hold your breath for the published piece until March 2011. Then thank Roaring Brook Press for making it happen.
