I wrote Small Wonders with the intention of naming and celebrating the pocket-sized joys, daily rituals, and ordinary moments that shape a meaningful life, not realizing that the conversations and connections that would grow around the book would become their own web of wonder. This page is meant to enshrine that magic. We put this page together as an archive of the Small Wonders book tour, including the media appearances, interviews, and speaking events surrounding the book’s release.
Thank you to every bookstore, host, reader, podcast, and publication that welcomed me and this book during this incredibe season. Below, you’ll find highlights from the tour, recent press and podcast appearances, and information for future literary and speaking engagements.
