After I got back from Japan I  received my Moonbeam Children’s Book Award and certificate. I missed the ceremony while I was out of town, but I am certainly grateful for this honor!

For my trip to Japan I stayed with Yuuko’s family in a suburb of Tokyo. It was about a 15 minute walk to the nearest train, luckily the weather was usually nice Fall weather and there were interesting things to look at as I walked. The neighborhood is very hilly, kind of like San Francisco.
