What's Beyond My Head

Over the past year, I've been working with fantastic Canadian children's book author Natalie Kessler on her new book ‘What's Beyond My Head’. A whimsical story about learning that you are not the only one in this world! Natalie is not only an amazing author. She’s also an orchestral double bassist, an advanced music specialist at the Royal Conservatory of Music, and founder of Canadian mustard company Organics and Gold. The book will be published by Pegasus Elliot MacKenzie in 2023.
