I've heard her speak several times but have never had an actual conversation with her.

I love seeing their living spaces. Another one that I particularly enjoyed is the Mark Twain House in Hartford!

I read M.C. Higgins the great and was in awe of how she let M.C. sit on a pole high above the world. Dangerous! And here I was, told by publishers that my story about a little boy who loves the elevator in his building could encourage dangerous behavior...<br /><br />I went up to Virginia and spoke to her about danger in children's literature. I don't remember what she said but I do remember feeling heard by her.April Halprin Waylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128192997917583478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-2372304135752518662016-01-11T18:36:08.228-06:002016-01-11T18:36:08.228-06:00I love biographies, too.
