Sissy and September

The story of a little girl’s love for her sister, September, and skateboarding.

For my children’s book, I really wanted to explore the generational dynamic between two sisters, and the beauty of that bond. I also wanted to touch upon the level of self-determination that children can have, which is a commendable quality to me, and something that I believe is often overlooked by older people. Finally, Sissy and September tells the story of what happens when girls are encouraged to step out of softer, more feminine gender roles and really delve into a sport that normally sets its sights on cis, heteronormative men.
