Thank you, Ginny, for your wonderful comments about Frances Temple's demonstration of respect for her readers' ability to understand and appreciate her characters' social, political, historical contexts by letting those distinctive voices ring through her work. Katy Horning's and Ruth Gordon's comments on diction reminded me of how important the child's authentic inner voice is in Frances Temple's work.
The fact that Frances Temple's life and her writing formed a seamless fabric of caring and contribution to the lives of children and of those who care about them is something that can never die as long as we do keep rediscovering in her work the immediacy of her themes and the truth of her characters' voices to all children.
