The Spark that Inspired Flip #63: Pairing Children’s Book Illustrators with Evidence

By Flip the Clinic & Erin Moore

Sometimes, like a brilliantly colored kite overhead, we spot an idea that we think everyone should see. And it was in this way that we met Erin Moore, the author of Flip 63. During regular care for her son, Erin encountered a real-life pinch point.
