As I put the final touches on the typeset manuscript for HeartLand, I feel ecstatic and terrified. Will this book get hugged? Will kids care? I hope so. I hope it makes them laugh. I hope it makes them think. But right now, I'm going to focus on the joy I feel in sharing its cover with you! #kidlit
