We were excited to go One-on-One with Ismée Williams (ismeewilliams), author of ABUELO, THE SEA, AND ME, a picture book about childhood, family, and the immigrant experience. 🐚 ☀️ ❄️ During our talk, Ismée shared how her own grandfather inspired the connection between the grandfather and grandchild depicted in this story, the different emotions and memories writing this story evoked in her, and what it was like collaborating with an artist to bring ABUELO, THE SEA, AND ME to life. 👣 💞 Check out the link in our bio to read more. 🔗 Featured here: Ismée Williams (ismeewilliams), author of ABUELO, THE SEA, AND ME | Illustrator Tatiana Gardel (gardeltatiana) | MacKids Books (mackidsbooks) [🎨 Graphics by Krysten Winkler (adrop_oflife) | 📋 Outreach and 🖋️ Article by Ryan Prettyman] . . . . . #ismeewilliams #abuelotheseaandme #family #picturebooks #booklover
