Vera Williams

So sad to learn the children's book author Vera Williams has died. I can remember reading her wonderful stories to my children, and how each one-in his or her time-would question me about the fire in the house (A CHAIR FOR MY MOTHER) or asking about how a young girl could create stories from her family or next door neighbors. Her books were focused on family, community, decency, humanity-all that really matters in the world. The thing about being such a great writer is your stories will always live on!
