Because by Mo Willems & Amber Ren

​In 2018, Hilary composed a short work for Because, a book by children's author Mo Willems with illustrations by Amber Ren. Because tells the story of how a young girl grows up to become a composer, and her first symphony "The Cold" is inspired by events that led her to fall in love with music.
