Georgia Heard, Rebecca Kai Dotlich, and I have been honored to tour some blogs, chatting about our new collaboration, Welcome to the Wonder House.
We chatted with author and poet Irene Latham, at Live Your Poem—
Every new book is a fresh start for me, a new challenge to relish. Though until now, I have had to create these challenges for myself! So when Welcome to the Wonder House landed on my desk, it was a wonderfully welcome surprise...

Many thanks to Irene and Jena for hosting us!
