“As an illustrator I’m drawn to narratives and the magic of books. The Spirit Dog has great reading imagery to capture moments, feeling and emotion, which compelled me to work on the project!”
Education for All (Morocco)
EFA is a wonderful. practical initiative that provides safe dormitories near schools so that girls in the remote regions of the High Atlas Mountains can continue in education. Without them very few would have a secondary education, Because of them, girls have gone on to become doctors, teachers and entrepreneurs and massively positively impact their communities. The six dormitories were all badly damaged in the 2023 earthquake.
Education for All (Morocco) operates in the region where both The Spirit Dog and Stumbling Over Eden begins. Every book sold will contribute to the rebuilding and reestablishment of this amazing project.
