It was such a pleasure to have @angkunkel AND Nancy Schon (!!) at the store today to celebrate Angela's beautiful MAKE WAY, The Story of Robert McCloskey, Nancy Schon, and Some Very Famous Ducklings 🦆

To hear @angkunkel read MAKE WAY, her PB bio about Robert McClosky and Nancy Schon, with Nancy in attendance 🤯! An amazing moment I will never forget - especially when Nancy deemed Angela's work PERFECT! The writers in attendance agreed! Soaring20sPB #24CarrotWriting
