Good luck with your plant. I only have five b/c I'm not that great with them. Do you have a second book being published? Seems I read somewhere that you do? Can I interview you for my blog? I started a new monthly feature called HIGH FIVE where I interview picture book authors that have a debut book out.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-36692603104025068292010-09-26T18:32:42.776-04:002010-09-26T18:32:42.776-04:00hehe...I suck at plants too.
