Ten writers for children. All with something to say.

What a joy to read all of your posts.  Such creative people you are!!



This summer I travelled with my sister to Utah to see my son.  We had a great time catching up, climbing rocks, and learning more about this beautiful state!

I also spent a great deal of time reading books that I want to teach in my college courses - The Giver, The Children We Remember, Number the Stars, So Far From the Sea... I fit in a few outside books, like Gone Girl and a few Reeve Lindburgh books. And I'm celebrating the release of I Want to Help!  
 
We are also the proud parents of a new to us 3 to 5 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who was dumped in our neighborhood.  She has captured our hearts, in spite of her habit of eating my shoes!!

I love that picture of you at the wheel. Makes me want to get in the car and head west right now. And congratulations on the new addition to the family. What's a few shoes?

Diane Adams said...

Exactly John. It gives me a chance to go shoe shopping. That's never a bad thing!

Congratulations on your new book, Diane! It sounds like your summer of travel and lots of reading was wonderful. And a new member of your family sounds like a new adventure. I am happy to red all of your news!

I agree with John about hopping in the car. Let's pick a point where we all can meet.

Congrats on your new book. I loved your first collaboration with Nancy Hayashi. So glad you teamed up again.

Based on where we all live, Christy, Minnesota might be a good choice. A long drive for some, a short drive for others. We've got lots of water. Mark could even sail.

I don't believe I've ever been to Minnesota. It might be a fun adventure!
