>In my next life, I hope to come back as a children’s book writer with enough talent and poise to be invited by the wonderful Monika Schröder to visit the American embassy school in New Delhi. Linda Sue Park just got back.
>And as a bonus, I would even shelve books.

>I did the same trip along with Jane Dyer and Diane DeGroat in 2005, invited by Bandana Sen, the librarian at the time, (talent and poise must not have been the main criteria back then, or else Jane and Diane had enough for the 3 of us) and it was every bit as wonderful as Linda describes. Definitely a high point in my life as a childrens book writer.
