Congratulations to our Redbirds!

Thank you for coming to hear the children's letters and speeches! Your support means so much to them and me. If you brought a treat to share, an extra cheer of gratitude goes out to you!

I always feel nervous the night before a publishing celebration, and certainly the morning of, and wanted to share this poem with you (again)...

A Thousand Mornings by Mary Oliver                  

All night my heart makes its way
however it can over the rough ground
of uncertainties, but only until night
meets and then is overwhelmed by
morning, the light deepening, the
wind easing and just waiting, as I
too wait (and when have I ever been
disappointed?) for redbird to sing.
