A new book is a bit like a book-baby. You've been involved in the pregnancy for a while, and you hope others will understand , be entertained and also gain from the character's story. But like an adolescent, it eventually has to go out into the world on its own. A book launch is a bit like a hullo and farewell party. When you have a co-author, or illustrator such as in 'Hijabi Girl', then there's a pleasure in sharing the creation. Like co-parenting.
