Combining the gentleness of Miyazaki, the wintry wonderland of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and the whimsicality of Newbery winner The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Nicole M. Hewitt’s debut MG novel, THE SONG OF ORPHAN’S GARDEN, is an enchanting fantasy tale with all the makings of a new classic.

“A free verse tale that’s shot through with DNA from Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant. … Lyrical in both themes and language, with resonances both literary and ecological.” —Kirkus
“Elegant... The poetic form and the seasonal changes yield a strong sensory experience… A carefully crafted fantasy adventure set in poetry.” —SLJ
“[A] taut, beautifully rendered adventure.” ―Horn Book

Nicole M. Hewitt is a middle-grade author living in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three grown kids, and three overly enthusiastic pups. She hates to run, but she succeeded in finishing a marathon in 2022 (it was for a good cause!). She enjoys nature but doesn’t see nearly enough of it in Illinois, so her family travels to national parks as often as possible. She also loves to sing and can often be heard spontaneously composing incredibly profound songs about the fluffiest members of her family (the dogs, in case you weren’t sure). THE SONG OF ORPHAN”S SONG is her debut novel.

Thomas Gonzalez has been drawing since he was a child in Havana, Cuba.
A Spanish speaker, Thomas didn’t know the English language when he migrated
with his family to the States, so it became even more natural to express
himself in pictures.
Thomas spent years as an art director, creative director, and a principal designer, the majority of them at The Coca-Cola Company. He received several advertising and design-related awards, including one gold and two silver Addy’s and a bronze International Packaging Award. Thomas lives in Georgia with his family.
