I'll be sure it makes it onto our Mock Newbery list for the fall. It's "in transit" from our library which means it will arrive on my holds shelf soon! Love the pics of the grand girls and I spotted Ingrid even before I enlarged the pic. So happy for the fun you have at the bookstore and your weekly discoveries. My heart, like yours, is heavy for the turmoil in our world.
