This is Not Forever

• 

  Thank you hour in NYC!

Inspiration

Author and illustrator, Kristen Meehan, is a New York City public school teacher. She is also the mother of three young children (Sofie, 5, Lucas, 3, and Charlotte, 1). This story is based on their experience in Brooklyn, New York, during this historic pandemic.

What it does

Every night, after kissing her children and putting them to bed, working on this project gave her hope. Her wish is that this book helps children to cope during this confusing time.

Challenges I ran into

Motherhood, remote teaching, and creating a picture book simultaneously was a real balancing act. We are all trying to navigate our way through this unprecedented time.

What's next for This is Not Forever

She wants to thank her family for all of their support throughout the creation of this project. A special thanks goes out to her husband, Rob, who reports to work everyday as an essential NYC worker. This is her first book. She hopes to be able to share this book with children everywhere.
