Ode to Richard Peck

To Richard Peck I give high five--best done while he's still alive--for his one-word-to-authors' clarion call: "responsibility" to the story and its readers, all.

I missed hearing Dr. Peck speak at The King's English last night, because I felt sick, so to console myself I've been watching Youtube videos. This video came from an SCBWI Master Class that he taught. Wonderful stuff.
