It is always a pleasure to work with Abrams Books for Young Readers because of the care and diligence the staff put into each book. I’m particularly grateful to my editor, the smart, savvy Howard Reeves, who keeps pushing in the best possible way; and to the awesome Emily Daluga, whose patience is endless and her ability to keep the train on the track is remarkable. Abrams is known for its beautiful book making and here the thanks go to associate art director Pamela Notarantonio and the book’s designer Sara Corbett. I would also like to thank the staff at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, especially archivist Patrick Fahy, whose help with locating the book’s many photographs was invaluable. A special appreciation to Lila Freeman and Vic Glazer who drove me to Hyde Park—in a blizzard!—and, as always, to my husband, Bill Ott, for his support and the endless cups of tea.
