They made an amazing mural based on How to Steal a Dog:
They sang a song and danced for me!
They made fantastic projects, like dioramas and a whole clothesline full of info about me and my book!
Thanks so much, Doherty!!!

Pine Tree Reading Program
I'm in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as part of their annual Pine Tree Reading Program.
How to Steal a Dog was one of the books chosen for the list, read by third to fifth grade students.
These students from Ealy Elementary have read FIFTEEN of the Pine Tree books!
The West Bloomfield Public Library helps coordinate the program. Their children's department is amazing:

Um....
I'm not sure how to answer this letter:
You are the best author that I have ever talked to. In How to Steal a Dog I saw that you put a lot of excretion to the book.

How I love you, Scrivener
Why I Love Scrivener, Reason #578
My work-in-progress has multiple points-of-view (point-of-views?).
It's getting complicated to ensure that they flow correctly along the timeline of the story.
In Scrivener, I can make "collections" - inserting each POV into a separate folder.
Then I can see how that POV reads on its own, without the others.
(Does that make sense?)
