Susan Beth Pfeffer and Peg Kehret hit especially hard. I read so many of their books and recommended them so many times that I felt like I KNEW them. And Ms. Pfeffer posted her Wordle scores on Twitter for a while.
Some lived here in the States and some abroad, but we do our best to remember the creators of books that have made changes to the minds, hearts, and general beings of children worldwide. #kidlit afuse8production.slj.com/2026/01/02/i...
