But they’re still worth telling, and we can learn a lot about ourselves (and each other) but putting our truth down on the page (or the web!)."<br /><br />Thanks, Zetta and Susan.<br /><br />N.Neesha Memingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580810115152554244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-43660855551113105202009-10-14T08:00:00.701-04:002009-10-14T08:00:00.701-04:00Many thanks to Susan and everyone else for their w...Many thanks to Susan and everyone else for their wonderful support! Mardel, MG is middle grade, though really I see Munecas as a picture book for older readers, much like Bird (ages 8-12).Zettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073292465074072114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-21952771104023492422009-10-14T07:48:55.595-04:002009-10-14T07:48:55.595-04:00Great!
