    Little-known fact: I almost gave up when I was writing IVAN. I remember standing over my trash can, trying to decide whether I should throw the manuscript away. If you trust in your story, persist. It's worth the effort. ❤️

    This book was published seven years ago today. Thank you to everyone who has ever picked up Ivan's story, shared it with friends, or read it aloud to students. It's been a wonderful journey! 🦍🍃

    I write to see where I’ve already been. I read to see where I might yet go. A good book is like GPS for the soul. #whyiread #hc200
