Yumi’s Extraordinary Collection- Published January 27, 2017!
by Elsa Takaoka illustrated by Catherine Toennisson
This book “Yumi’s extraordinary collection” tries to capture that. The importance of holding on to memories not things.
It took me one year to write this story, draft after draft and with the help of several amazing writers and editors. When the final draft was completed I couldn’t think of a better person to illustrate this book other than Catherine Toennisson, whose love of art and naturally good-hearted personality brings innocence to her work.
We are about half way done with this book, we are trying to be as detailed as possible. Meeting most publishing industry standards and breaking some rules along the way.
