Hi Rukhsana, Remember me? We met on that wild ride over the pass in a blizzard at night, on the way to Valdez for the Alaska Library Association conference last year. And survived the 48 inches of snow that fell during the conference ("Please walk to the conference center. The conference bus is getting dug out of the snow.") That was memorable!

I love King for a Day, and I do have a question about it. Was the wheelchair your vision when you wrote it, or did the illustrator do that of her own accord. I don't think it's mentioned in the text, which is brilliant either way.

I learned a lot and enjoyed the book very much. The bully is kept in the background, with the hero foregrounded, which makes the hero more heroic.

I'd love to hear anything you have to say about the conception and making of this beautiful book.

thanks to you, and to Elsa for moderating the conversation, Helen Frost
