So many exciting and unexpected things have happened since little Ludelphia made her way into the world, and this has got to be one of the very best:
LEAVING GEE'S BEND was selected as the BIG READ in Como, Mississippi. That means the whole community is encouraged to read the book, and the library has arranged related programming, including a visit with me at First Regional Library on Friday, February 8. (Hi Judy! Hi Alice!)
And check this out: to advertise, they've put up posters around town of people reading the book! I. Love. It.
Thank you, Como! I can't wait to meet all of you!!!
