I am lucky enough to be able to do work that I love — writing books for kids and visiting with kids and talking to other writers about writing books for kids. And today is my birthday, which I think is a good day to take account of all that lucky goodness.

So please understand that my haiku (which is sort of a whiny complaint) is totally tongue in cheek. 🙂 I’m flattered to sign books, and thrilled that so many kids will have them in their hands tomorrow.
