Braving heights, severe storms, and a flock of irritated pigeons, Ms. Laurell refused to come down until she received $20,000 in donations for the children’s section of the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart, TX.
This is simply a great story, and I feel privileged to be the one who gets to tell it. Illustrated by the talented Stephen Gilpin, Librarian on the Roof! will be published by Albert Whitman & Company in September of 2010.
