Art Coulson and Winona Nelson's ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY received a shout out in SJL's "31 Days, 31 Lists: 2025 Unconventional Children’s Books." The article specifically calls out an indigneous beadwork tradition used in the illustrations. #childrensbooks #kitlit #picturebooks

"The author’s depiction of Native life is full of distinctive personalities who will hold readers’ attention, and her visceral fight scenes have a grittier, more lived-in edge than those in the average cop novel. The result is a satisfying, deeply felt, and uncomfortably relevant crime story."
