About Orvelle Sweet Sixteen Illustrated Editions
Sixteen is the year everything shifts. The friendships that feel permanent, the ones that don't, the first real independence, the moments that feel enormous in the living of them and impossible to hold onto afterward.
Orvelle writes and illustrates a complete narrative from the memories you share, the childhood behind her, the year she's in, and the person she is becoming. A hardcover book she will look back on when she is twice as old and realize how much it all mattered.
