ReplyDeleteShe has such a gentle way of sharing her story! What fun to hold those memories dear and share them through books that we write. The joy of writing! Thanks for sharing this video!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Mr. Schu! I'm a big Penderwicks fan and I love hearing about how authors were drawn to tell the story they told.
