In February/March,
I had a wonderful trip to Brazil--half vacation, half work. I spent
a week in Rio de Janeiro and Foz de Iguacu with my family, and then
a terrific week working with the students at the Graded School in
Sao Paulo.

Last fall I had
a wonderful visit to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, at Rocky Mount
Academy, Englewood Elementary and Edwards Middle schools. The awesome
Odyssey of the Mind team at Englewood worked hard at fundraising
so they could travel to the World Finals in Maryland, where they
placed THIRD overall! They even had some money left over, and do
you know what they did? They bought copies of WHEN
MY NAME WAS KEOKO for their school classrooms!

Park, and Heather Werner.

I also spoke
at Vermont College in the MFA for Children's Writing program in
January, and at the Monroe Community College (Rochester NY) children's
literature conference in March. Both terrific events. And in February
I was in New York City signing MUNG-MUNG! at the Union Square Barnes
and Noble as part of the Child Magazine's Best Books of the Year
celebration.

latest entries in my reading
blog.

Coming this
summer from Charlesbridge Books: YUM! YUCK! A foldout book of people
sounds, co-authored with Julia Durango, illustrated by Sue Rama.
