Hawthorne Valley Association

Waiting for something you're excited about can be hard, but staying busy can help the time pass more quickly. And sometimes things can go wrong and plans have to change. Follow along as one boy fills his days and counts down the sleeps till DumpTruck Land! Will he get to go?

Alkion Press has published a new children's book by Gwendolyn Sherman '98 titled 7 More Sleeps Till DumpTruck Land. Keep an eye out for social posts to see when the book launch will be!

Gwendolyn Sherman grew up in the beautiful countryside of upstate New York. She attended Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School where her love of art was valued and encouraged. She later studied fine arts in Paros, Greece, though most of her development as an artist has been through mentorships and self-led exploration. She enjoys nature, time with her family, Irish breakfast tea, and the occasional precious moment of solitude.
