The Passageway Books—Published
Page, I'm thrilled to have the two books you sent— they are spectacular and gorgeous. ... you have a mythic mind and spirit, and both are given free rein in these elegant, absorbing, transporting, magical books. The prose and the paintings manage to be intensely physical and meditatively mystical at the same time— no small feat. The journeys enacted are strange, tender, funny, mysterious, primitive (consciously), and brimming with folk wisdom. They do what all good myth-making should do: create another world which is coherent and intact itself, and yet which brims with instructive and illuminating links back to the world we know. You are well-served in the production of the books, I would say. I hope they are finding and will find the audience they envision.
—Robert Hahn, poet

"This is a bedtime story, to be told at the threshold where night meets day. It is a story that you will know is true, one that you may remember, even if it has been long forgotten. It is the story of one little girl and how she made her long journey down the Great River of Stars, on her way to be born."
So begins Madison's Descent, which imagines the coming to life of a little baby girl whom we first meet rocking in a small boat in the Night Nursery under the watchful eye of My Moon.
The Way to Davis is a companion book to Madison's Descent, both beautifully illustrated and poetic stories that describe the magical journey towards life.
