It is such an honor to have the chance to reveal the beautiful cover of THREE PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS, the new picture book by the wonderful emilybarthisler with illustrations by  vesperillustration Stamper.

Here’s a brief description about the story: 
“From award-winning creators Emily Barth Isler and Vesper Stamper, this luminous and moving story shows what it means to see the world in a hopeful light, even when it is broken

Three pieces of broken glass sit on Grandma Inge’s windowsill.

Even though they are small, sharp, and jagged, the light shines through them, casting beautiful rainbows on the wall.

When Inge’s great-granddaughter asks why Inge has kept these shards, she learns decades-old stories from her great-grandmother’s life—from the joy of glass breaking at her wedding to harrowing reminders of smashed windows during Kristallnacht. And she comes to understand why we hold onto our memories both happy and sad.

Evocative and soul-stirring, with incandescent illustrations by Vesper Stamper, THREE PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS, based on the personal history of author Emily Barth Isler, explores how we must seek to find beauty and strength in even the darkest, most broken times.”

This looks like a truly a meaningful story that I can’t wait to read and share! Out in Spring 2026!
Congratulations Emily, Vesper and abramskids
