And, of course, much gratitude to my mother. At one point, I said, “Mom, you know how every book has to have a villain? Well, in this one it’s gonna hafta be you.” She thought for a moment, and then just said, “OK.” So thanks, Mom, for being strong enough to respond that way. In addition, a big hug goes out to my dad. I appreciate both of you allowing me the freedom to share my point of view.
And last, thanks to Lucy Keltner, who is already a brilliant artist and writer at age nine. May we always share hugs and laughs.
