Waiting...waiting...waiting

I'm waiting!

If everything is on schedule, my new book, Four Famous Faces, will be published this month.

It's kind of like giving birth. (Well, not really!)  But there are similarities.  I guess the big thing is that I never know what the book is actually going to look like until it arrives. 

But here's what I do know: Renee Graef is the illustrator. 

And if you've ever seen anything that Renee has done, you know that she is outstanding. 


She's the illustrator for the Kirsten books of the American Girl series and also the Little House picture books published by HarperCollins. She also illustrated my first book for the Mount Rushmore History Association, Who Carved the Mountain? The Story of Mount Rushmore. 

I've seen the cover of Four Famous Faces, but I'm still waiting to count fingers and toes!
