I was lucky enough to hear Jackie Woodson speak at a previous Virginia Hamilton conference. She read from a manuscript of "Show-Way" long before it was published. Often at the VH conference, you can feel the whole audience's engagement, but it was more intense than ever in this case. I had such goose bumps and I could tell everyone around me was holding their breath, caught up in the beauty of it. Can you imagine how it rang in our ears during what seemed like years waiting for the book to finally come out? Jackie, do you remember the timeline of when you were there and then when the book came out? At that conference you also spoke a bit about "We Had a Picnic This Sunday Past." Would you be willing to tell us more about how that book came to be and what your feelings are about it now. I suspect we're all really interested in your journey as a writer.
Take care, Lesley
