On this fine February afternoon in a muddy pond in C&O Canal National Park in Potomac, Maryland: Frogs gone wild! The water was roiling with them. And listen to those voices!
They are wood frogs, and I appear to have caught them breeding, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resourcesand Towson University websites. I've never encountered them quite this early in the year. A sign of spring?
Librarian and children's book expert Heidi Estrin interviewed me last year at Book Expo America in New York City--and now she's made the audio available on her podcast, The Book of Life. Click here to listen.
Yes, I do talk on and on and on in the interview, but please forgive me--there was so much I wanted to say about The Year of Goodbyes!
