I met Dianna Hutts Aston at NCTE and I hope to connect with her via Skype w/ my students. I'm adding A Strange Place to Call Home and Anthology for the Earth to my Amazon cart right now.

I think my class would love to see "A Strange Place to Call Home." These titles and "A River of Words" top my list. I'm adding them to my library book bag right now.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-51679203793856413112013-02-19T18:01:16.188-07:002013-02-19T18:01:16.188-07:00These are beautiful books, Linda.
