Notes from the author as to why this is a special edition .. I promise it’s worth the read
“I like to think of Maybe as a love letter to our potential. Maybe wouldn't be Maybe without the incredible work of the artist. Like many of you, I fell in love with her work the moment I saw it. Something most people don't know is that this is her first book. She had turned down 50 previous book offers. Her artwork is so detailed and time-consuming that she would have to dedicate over a year of her life to illustrate a single book and she had not found a book yet that she was willing to do that for. But I believed Gabriella was the one to bring Maybe to life, since I wrote it in such a way that the story line is told through the illustrations. I sent her my manuscript and she responded to me in the middle of the night with four words.
"This is my book."
I was so delighted, and I told her that 5l is now my new favorite number!
To commemorate our working together, the artist hid the number 51 in the book for readers to find.
Making Maybe has been such a remarkable book journey. It has traveled to the farthest reaches of our world, become an international best seller in many different languages, and it has now found its way to you.
Here's to your endless potential, to helping pigs fly, and to making the impossible possible!”
Oh my goodness .. I was all smiles and happy teary after reading the author notes .. this is truly an incredible and amazing book
