Summary/Artist Statement
Viola lives a peaceful, ideal life until the beginning of the new school year. Her best friend Sally is moving away. Viola slides into panic and races to come up with a plan to keep her friend from moving away.
Toy Genre: Children's book
Artist Statement:
This book is base on my childhood experiences of moving away to a new country, and the vulnerability I felt, which too shared with my very best friend. I turn this feeling into a child’s book, not only for healing myself, but also to my friend- yes I miss you.
