The latest book written by me in English is a kidzbook, SUCH A BUSY SUNDAY, about a same-sex family that belongs to an inclusive church, where it's taken for granted that they're queer and part of a community of faith:

SUCH A BUSY SUNDAY is not about overcoming homophobia in the church, it's just a joyful story that takes for granted both sexuality & faith. Forthcoming in April from the United Church of Christ, with illustrations by Mati Ark: thepilgrimpress.com/products/suc...
