Coming in July, Little Ash is a series of books for young readers aged five and up. Reading to my nieces and nephew is something I love to do, and seeing their little faces light up when we read a book they love is magic.
“With First Nations writer Jasmin McGaughey and illustrator Jade Goodwin, I’ve created Little Ash to be fun and relatable for all kids. Supporting kids’ education is something I’m passionate about and if I can help encourage new readers that will make me very happy.”
