Review
"Lewiss dappled watercolors both ground the story in the details of its specific setting—fishing boats resting by the shore, vibrant clothing—and reflect the characters mutual, unconditional devotion, which stretches across borders." —
Publishers Weekly
"Commendable. . . Lewiss paintings. . . capture the affection of mother and child, the brightly patterned cloths, the busy market stalls." —School Library Journal

About the Author
Gabrielle Emanuel lived in Mali for a year after graduating from Dartmouth. She worked in the health sector in the small town of Bandiagara and later in the capitol of Bamako. She would often read to one little girl, and was dismayed that none of the books available reflected the landscape and culture of the country. For the next two years she was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford studying public policy; she now works at NPR in Washington, D.C., where she currently lives. Gabrielle has always loved traveling and storytelling.
The Everlasting Embrace, her first book, gave her the opportunity to combine those loves.
