Thank you to the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards Committee for honoring Fungi Grow. I have found the Horn Book to be a guiding voice and influence both in my time illustrating and writing picture books and as an avid reader of the genre. I have long admired Maria Gianferrari’s writing and her love of the natural world. It’s an interest we both share, and I was delighted when offered the opportunity to illustrate Fungi Grow.

The Napkin Project: Jacqueline WoodsonPhilip FriedmanGinger’s Bar is around the corner. My daughter goes there with her friends now—a posse of twenty-somethings with their low-slung pants, flat blown bellies and crop-tops. Always their hair is a wild mess of braids + locks + twists. Alisha dyed hers last week and the color pulled most of the kink from it, leaving the yellow strands falling in corkscrews.
