surprise in the mail
I stopped by my mailbox after work and pulled out a package that’d been wedged in among the bills, coupons, and previous homeowner’s American Girl doll catalogs.
My first kids’ book! Growing Up with Tamales. It’s way, way more beautiful than I was expecting, thanks mainly to April Ward, who illustrated it. Seriously, I almost cried when I saw it. Then, I almost cried again when my ten-year-old son read it aloud to me.
Go to my Flickr to see more of the book. Or, better yet, go to Amazon to pre-order it.
