It was such a pleasure to collaborate with the wonderful children’s author Shannon Stocker and the superb illustrator Devon Holzwarth on Listen, a gorgeous and empowering children’s picture book biography about my early life.

Of obstacles.
Of strength and hard work.
Of all you can accomplish when you dream.
