Heroes come in all sizes, and my newest hero is a pint-sized girl named Mavis Elizabeth Betterly, called May B. Armed with only her book, a broom, and a lot of sheer grit, May B. faces the terrors of school, winter, and the west Kansas prairie. Caroline Starr Rose tells May’s story in simple, moving verse that captures the joy of family, the gloomy isolation of a dirt soddy, and the determination of one scared but indomitable young person. May B. is a girl you’ll be proud to know. Give her a big hug from me.
– Newbery Award-winning author, Karen Cushman

Oh my goodness! Karen Cushman is one of my go-to authors for historical fiction. Congratulations!
I’ve taught Karen Cushman’s books in three different schools, so to have her read and love my book was HUGE. It’s still unreal.
Every time I read these blurbs I just want to start chanting: “May B! May B! May B!”
