She's AMAZING. Great interview! <br /><br />P.S.<br />I got your book in the mail today and read it to the kids tonight. They had lots of questions about which penguins were girls and which were boys, but they accepted without question that one penguin had two daddys. Such a cool book! After we've read it a few more times we're going to donate it to the library at my son's preschool. It's a very progressive school and I think they'll love reading it to the kids.lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-31130542878600350712009-10-26T18:27:10.981-07:002009-10-26T18:27:10.981-07:00It was so great getting to know Marietta, wasn'...It was so great getting to know Marietta, wasn't it!

It reminds me of the exercise Nathan Bransford did earlier this year where he let us be agents for a day, just to show what it's like on the other side of that fence. It was an extremely eye-opening experience and changed my querying process completely.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
