Anita Bagdi joins with GRP to bring her artistic talent and vision to the lyrical exploration of the workings of a grand piano in the story, MY PIANO. Told through the eyes of a young child preparing for a recital, author Jen Fier Jasinski leads curious readers through the interconnected parts of the piano. Paired with Anita's magical illustrations, this story is a musical treat for students, teachers, and music enthusiasts alike.

Look for Anita and Jen's companion story, MY VIOLIN, releasing in the spring of 2026!

At Gnome Road, we love Anita's work so much that we've asked her to illustrate author Melissa Stoller's story, Hazel & Mabel: Two Hearts Apart. Her talent for showing character emotions and setting a scene complement this gentle exploration of the bonds of friendship. It's releasing in the fall of 2025.
