This is heartbreaking news no one ever wanted to hear, K.T., but thank you for confirming the rumors. I know the entire children's book world
(and beyond) is mourning as the news spreads. He was an extraordinary man with a great heart. My deepest sympathies to all his dear friends and family. leda On 7/2/2014 2:29 PM, K.T. Horning wrote:
