Celebrating Books

Several years ago, Pat Tanumihardja and I started writing together on Saturday mornings at a local coffee shop. We both grew up in Southeast Asia and share a love of Asian food (she’s an expert, you should check out her cookbooks).
 
L to R: Poppy, Pat, Marcie, Ann
 
Soon after, our friend, Ann Bonwill, also joined us. It’s been several years now, and we still get together on Saturday mornings at 7:30 to write before our kids’ activities begin. We’ve had years of writing and writing and writing and waiting and waiting and waiting for publishing news. All three of us have been working so hard.
 
I’m thrilled that Pat has three picture books coming out this year!
 
 
This weekend, we got to celebrate RAMEN FOR EVERYONE! by Pat Tanumihardja and illustrated by Shiho Pate. It’s an awesome father-son story. It’s a great food story, and all around fun!

What I’m Noticing

The blooms on the tree out front are starting to open up. I think this is a Malus x Zumi? We have been puzzled by this tree for years. It’s beautiful this time of year though. I clipped just a bit because I love the color.
