Meeting Pat again

I spent time yesterday afternoon listening to Patricia MacLachlan tell about her latest book Who Loves Me?--a bedtime picture book. She is the author of the wonderful Sarah, Plain and Tall. She spoke of being in a writer's group in her city with Jane Yolen, Ann Turner, and others. What a group!!!She also said that Tracy Kidder lived in the same town. It was marvelous hour of literary talk I had missed since my last time at the Texas Library conference. And of course, Maddie and Ella got an autographed book out of the deal.
