To my family: my kids who kept me hopping and gave me plenty of childish wisdom to draw from, and my husband who is infinitely supportive and helps me through all the stages involved in putting a book into print.

 

And to my elementary school, which probably prefers to remain anonymous considering they taught me, amongst other things, how to climb to the roof of a building using the meters on the side. I promise I didn’t harm anything up there. I only retrieved the balls the kids lost on top of the flat roof.
