How My Family Says I Love You

Yvonne Sewankambo is the author of Good Hair, illustrated by Freda Chiu, and First There Was Me, Then There Was You, illustrated by Aurore McLeod. A Ugandan Canadian writer and publicist, she has worked on campaigns across several industries, including publishing, film, television, and the nonprofit sector. Having lived in four countries on three different continents (and traveled to even more), she is passionate about telling stories that transcend borders. Yvonne Sewankambo lives in Sydney, Australia.

Aurore McLeod was born in France, where she studied Viking archaeology. She then moved to Australia and discovered a passion for toy-making. It wasn’t until she started drawing her toy characters that she realized how much she enjoyed illustration. She now lives in Tasmania, where she spends her days drawing characters on paper or creating them out of fabric.

The sense that love can be communicated in a variety of ways—and, indeed, without being said aloud—is conveyed with compassion and importance. . . . An affectionate tale in which love is deeply and truly felt.
