House of Dance a 2009 Bank Street College of Education Best

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

I was at the dance studio today when word came in that House of Dance was named a 2009 Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book.

I am, of course, entirely grateful. House joins books written by some of my literary heroes and heroines—Sharon Creech, Jane Yolen, Louise Erdrich, Avi, Neil Gaiman, and Mary Engelbreit, among others.

New: I close the day with these words from dear Priya, about Undercover.
