The Junction of Sunshine and Lucky Re-Release
The Junction of Sunshine and Lucky originally released with Dial / Penguin in 2014. The rights reverted to me and I re-released the book in 2021. (Auggie's story remains the same, but I did do a bit of revision throughout to bring the book up to date.) That's why you'll sometimes see different covers when shopping online. This cover, with the flower in the center and the folk art images, is the most up-to-date version.
An Activity Book
When The Junction released, I had so much fun seeing the folk art sculptures and drawings that the book inspired. So I knew that when I re-released The Junction, I was going to include an activity book, one that would offer even more inspiration! Not to mention some pictures to color, puzzles to finish, tips for starting a few folk art sculptures, or ideas for getting involved in the community, like Auggie and her friends do in The Junction.
