Meet Author M.H. Clark

A recipient of the Washington State Book Award and two Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, M.H. Clark has a poignant way of illuminating heartfelt truths through her poetry and prose. Her collection touches on a variety of topics, from honoring our emotions and easing anxiety to celebrating superpowers and recognizing our beautiful complexities. Whether you’re looking for a picture book to read with a little one or a guided journal to connect to your own thoughts, Clark’s works are sure to offer new perspective and illuminate what is common to all of us.

A native New Englander, Clark has traveled the world and lived in many places but believes she belongs most of all in a little house with a large library, someplace where the forest meets the sea. When she is not reading and writing, you’ll find her exploring nature with her dog, cooking for loved ones, cold-water swimming, enjoying art, and engaging in social justice work.

Favorite Favorite
Written by M.H. Clark
Illustrated by Daisy Hirst

This playful and heartwarming read-aloud is filled with rhythmic storytelling to let a child know just how much they're adored.

Some days are sticky, some are silly, and some are full of cozy quiet—but when you’re with your child, even the smallest moment can become a favorite. Favorite Favorite is a heartwarming children’s book that lets little ones know just how deeply they’re loved. With gentle rhymes and whimsical illustrations, it captures the magic tucked inside everyday life—shared ice cream, sweet questions, joyful messes, and all the hugs that say, “I love you” without a word.
