There are so many fine authors in this day, I would not like to pick just one, thanks
I fully understand Mary. Like I mention in the show I’m so happy Henkes and Brown are on separate days because choosing between those two would be impossible!
Really hard to pick just one but I do like Jesse Klausmeier 🙂 They are all amazing and fun writers though!
Andrea, I just finished recording my next episode with Jesse Klausmeier! And she definitely is a good choice!!
Sooooo many, can’t pick.
Congratulations Anthony H., you just won a David McLimans’ Limited-Edition Poster – Signed and Illustrated for the 2013 Sheboygan Children’s Book Festival!
