Wow! MY day has been made by having YOU comment on my blog! I’m having a total fangirl moment right now. 🙂
Yes, passion and immediacy are totally appropriate in what we do, but sometimes it feels like so few outside our niche seem to understand or appreciate that. It’s always inspiring to find kindred spirits who feel the same way I do about writing nonfiction for kids.
Thanks!

My day: it has been made — seeing my words & those of that brainiac Deb Heiligman cited here. And yes, if your job is letting these younger humans in on what an amazing place their world is & what far out people have lived there, Passion and Immediacy are totally appropriate, no? I mean — wow!
