Launching her Debut Children’s Book, On the Streets of New York!
Sarah is thrilled to announce her debut as a children’s book author!
She loves children’s books, she loves being an auntie, & she loves New York City, so when the good folks at Big Picture Press invited her to write poems for their new book ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK, she had to say yes! Sarah couldn’t be luckier to have been paired up with Ryan Johnson, who made the gorgeous, vibrant illustrations that really make the book a delight to hold & read! The book comes out March 5, 2026 & is already available to order in Australia, Singapore, Japan, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Estonia, the Netherlands, Ireland, South Africa, & across the UK! For friends in the US, Big Picture Press is still looking for a US publisher to partner with over here, but in the meantime it is possible to order the book via UK retailers (with international shipping!) like Waterstones, Portobello, or Blackwells.
