I am embarking on my first non-fiction picture book biography. It's comforting to see the stages laid out by someone else who has done this before.

Your last line called to mind a sign that used to hang on the wall of my mom's kitchen:<br />"There's so much good in the worst of us, so much bad in the best of us, that it little behooves any of us to compare ourselves with the rest of us."<br /> Isn't that a great word, 'behooves' ? don't you love the English language?Cheryl Harnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304712481691077891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-71761473298306849572010-11-12T14:08:52.915-05:002010-11-12T14:08:52.915-05:00Great post, Susan!
