The illustrations are approximately seventy-five percent completed, by which I mean that most of them still need to be fully rendered with watercolors.

This story is still evolving, changing from day to day as a result of my working with independent literary editors towards clarifying the musician’s motives related to the noise she doesn’t like and her solutions for turning it into something she can live with, which is the primary message of the book… That kids can regulate themselves by seeing something that’s bothering them in a new way.
