We had some major excitement here this week. An advance copy of Noisy Poems for a Busy Day arrived! I had a hard time not crying when I opened it up and saw the pages, but reading the enclosed note by my editor pushed me over the edge. I think Sosi was terrified until I explained “happy tears, these are happy tears!”.
The book doesn’t come out until this December, but you can preorder it here or here. It is such a fun book to read to your kids, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It looks great!
