Meg Waite Clayton's First Books

It is such an honor for me to have a little screen time on sites like Meg Waite Clayton's First Books, a site dedicated to the stories behind the story, how first writers find the courage and incentive to write. 

In the guest blog, I had the honor of shining a light on our beloved "Cherry", Cheryl Gobbetti Hoffman who inspired me as both an artist and mother. 

We lost Cheryl to cancer in Aug 2008--she never saw the book she cheerleaded find its way into Harper's capable hands and bookstores everywhere two years later, but her spirit lives on.
