So exciting to see Music Mavens reviewed by Mary Quattlebaum alongside @suma_v_s beautiful picture book In Washington Parent Magazine. Like Mary, I highly recommend Namaste Is A Greeting.

When your publisher sends out an email blast and positions your purple book about music creatives directly above a book about The Purple One and one of your Music Mavens is none other than producer @SylviaMassy. Oh, my heart! #MusicMavens.@ChiReviewPress @vashleywalker @prince
