the only way to come back from vacation is to exceptionally good news!!! in awe of the powerhouse talent on display in this book. still think it's absurd (almost as absurd as the project itself) that I am a part of this team <3 @KyleLukoff @AndreaTsurumi @agentsaba @yikeslouise

[Saba Sulaiman @agentsaba]

okay but the MOST exciting thing about @KyleLukoff’s latest book is that my 6yo is going to have one of the produce characters named after her!!!

excited to team up with @mpodestrian and @AndreaTsurumi on this delightfully weird and wonderful project 🎊🎉✨
