At the beginning of 2023, I set out to fill this creative void I had been feeling and really discover more of myself in the process. I have always loved to write and knew one day I would publish a children's book but I could never decide what to write about. As I spent my summers touring and going from city to city with the Grateful Dead, I always found myself completely entranced in the entire experience. The music, the cities, the lights, and the people all became this world I couldn’t live without; then it hit me.

I realized that as I stood in these venues, that the music, lights, people, colors and feelings of love were all just powerful vibrations. What’s a Vibe is an exercise in trying to articulate how I am connected to life and everything around me.

I had such an incredible time writing and working on this project with my long-time friend, Emma Bergman. Emma’s stunning illustrations turned out even better than what I could have ever dreamed and her talent truly makes this book complete. We’re both so proud of how this book came into reality and cannot wait to share it with you.

We hope you love it.
