But when Cynthia met Audrey forty-five years later she knew she had to write a book about her for young readers. She spent more than three years interviewing marchers and researching the events. Her book Weve Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Childrens March tells the story for older readers.

She and her husband divide their time between Austin Texas and Boston Massachusetts. Vanessa Brantley-Newton is a self-taught artist and has attended both FIT and SVA of New York where she studied fashion and childrens illustration.
