Plus, this mother-daughter duo talk about their forthcoming children’s book, “Tiny Human” — and why finding an artist willing to illustrate a pro-life book has been an uphill climb.If you or someone you know seems like the right fit to illustrate “Tiny Human,” please contact Brave Books at Info@Brave.us.The Federalist Foundation is a nonprofit, and we depend entirely on our listeners and readers — not corporations.
