ABOUT “HEY MRS. POSTMAN”

Laura’s manatee was inspired by the post office and how mail keeps us all connected. “We share our adventures, dreams, encouragement, fears, accomplishments, good wishes and love through sending postcards and letters to each other all over the world,” says Laura. “I wanted to create a manatee to honor that incredible service!”
