This week, the Community Advocate highlighted the accomplishment of another impressive Southborough teen. The article focused on a resident “Fresh out of high school”, who recently wrote, illustrated, and published a children’s book.

The CA writes:

Stemming from a childhood love for art and a reignited passion for storytelling, [Camryn Hartigan] was driven to write and illustrate “When The Sky Lets Go.” Her job as a camp counselor gave her a full-circle appreciation for the influence that art and writing have on young minds. . . 

The book centers around the idea that it’s okay to grow and change, something Hartigan believes is very important for children to understand.

Despite the backdrop of the photo she shared with the paper and me, Hartigan’s book isn’t yet available through the Southborough Library. (Though it will be.) But you can purchase your own copy:
