Slowly becoming more of a puddle with publication day approaching tomorrow, and because my author copies finally found their way to me. This is us last night, having a golden-hour moment together. I couldn’t help but share an inside peek at the dedication—it holds so much of the heart behind this book. It’s not too late to preorder a copy of OLIVETTI from any indie bookshop! **And if you’re new here, you should know: I’m giving away a typewriter to one lucky winner who preorders from @littleshopofstories , and another to a lucky winner who preorders from @shopthebookworm ✨ Thank you to all who have supported this pair of unlikely heroes—a typewriter who wants to find his voice, and a boy who wants to find the right words. And thank you to @mackidsbooks / @macmillanusa for believing in this book from the very beginning. ONE MORE DAY!
