We all hold the seed of something wonderful inside us, just waiting for the right moment to bloom. In A Poem Grows Inside You, the seed of an idea waits for the rhythm of the rainfall to awaken it, then takes root and begins to grow. At once a celebration of the deep connection creatives have with their art and an acknowledgement of the courage it takes to let it into the sun, this beautifully illustrated picture book encourages readers to nurture their talents and boldly share them with the world.

You can see her work in her debut picture books, Hattie Hates Hugs by Sarah Hovorka with Beaming books and A Poem Grows Inside You by Katey Howes with The Innovation Press, as well as in issues of Ladybug and Babybug magazines.
