I almost gave up...and then what I worked for finally happened. So to all the writers who think it's time to stop reaching for their dream: the only way to get there is to keep going. Keep learning, keep reading, keep writing. My pup Rory says: "You can do it!'

I love The Horn Book's essays & reviews, & relied on them to inform my understanding of children's books & book choices for students & educators.
Honored that JOAN MITCHELL PAINTS A SYMPHONY by me & Stacy Innerst earned a spot in these pages.
