Secret Garden Books
We are awfully proud to count author / illustrator Jessixa Bagley as an F.o.G. (friend of the Garden). She's so darned talented and we think her work is really special and we're thrilled to be celebrating the release of her third picture book with her!
Jessixa Bagley is a picture book author/illustrator. Her two previous picture books are Before I Leave and Boats for Papa, which earned four starred reviews. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband and her son where they have a laundry clothesline in their garden and when it s not raining, it gets used all the time.
This event is a donation-raiser drive for YouthCare. We will be accepting donations of warm clothing for homeless youth. Learn all about what they need here.
