K.C. Hayes's First Blog Post!

I'm looking forward to the March 8, 2022 release of my first picture book,

"Moving Words About a Flower," illustrated by the talented Barbara Chotiner and published by Charlesbridge.

My idea for the book was what I call Concrete Prose, where the shape and arrangement of the words and letters help to tell the story. So when it rains,

the words

take the

shape

of

rain

drops.

Many thanks to Alyssa Mito Pusey, my editor at Charlesbridge who supervised and coordinated the writing tweaks, illustration tweaks, and design tweaks. Whew.
