The Worlds We Leave Behind is the second book I've made with Levi, and it is certainly connected to the first one, The Song from Somewhere Else. Is The Worlds We Leave Behind part of the 'group' of novels you have created with illustrators Levi Pinfold and Emily Gravett? Are there connecting threads or themes?
