Sanni McCandless Honnold’s picture book debut BE A MOUNTAIN, in which a girl learns what it truly means to climb *with* the mountain, not against it – inspired by the author’s lifetime of learning how to become part of the natural world, instead of seeking to overcome it. Illustrated by Stevie Lewis, herself the author of the forthcoming Willow’s Winter Walk.
Author and illustrator each share deep personal connections to the climbing community in this first picture book together, to Laura Godwin at Godwin Books, in an exclusive submission, for publication in spring 2027, by Noelle Falcis Math and Edward Maxwell at Transatlantic Literary Agency for the author and Edward Maxwell for the illustrator.
