to Heather Kerr and Paul Michal. For taking care of children to allow
me time to write, thanks to Johnna and Frank Abdou and Val and
Georg Hafke. Thanks to Caroline Adderson for the great quotation
about the importance of offending librarians (p. 11–12), which comes
from her essay “Highlights for Children,” originally published in The
New Quarterly.
For influential discussions (whether or not you were aware of your
influence), thanks to: Marina Endicott, Joie Alvaro Kent, Steven
Heighton, Patricia Westerhoff, Douglas Brown, John Wooden, Susan
Bandy, Ryan Knighton, Alison Calder, Warren Cariou, Amanda
Racher, Timothy Taylor, Bonne Zabolotney, Antanas Sileika, Alison
Pick, Andrea Nair, Deryn Collier, Jody Keon, Dave Bidini, Shelby
Knudsen, and Maureen Brownlee.
The biggest thank you goes to my family. This was a hard one. I
know that a simple “thanks” is glaringly insufficient. I love you guys
(infinity times infinity).
