Cover Encore: THE SHIP IN THE WINDOW
What’s it called when the cover for a book is already revealed, but you are sharing it again? Re-reveal? Cover encore? Cover encore – I like that.
John Schu over at Mr. Schu Reads already debuted the cover for my upcoming book with Matthew Cordell, The Ship in the Window – we also answered some sentence starters about the book.

What is this book about?
Mabel the mouse wants nothing more than to be a fearless sea captain traveling the world in search of adventure. Every night she watches a man carefully construct a model ship, as his son watches by her side. Mabel and the boy know the model ship is anything but a toy, but they both long to see if it can really float. So Mabel hatches a plan to make her seafaring dreams come true.
I can’t wait for you to see this book (click here to preorder). Thank you Matthew Cordell for illustrating it, Tamar Brazis for editing it, and Stephen Barbara for agenting it.
