Author of May B.
1. How many times have you been ice skating?
Enough to know I’m not very good at it! I think the first time I went was with my Brownie Troop.

Something solid and bright. I go through a few colors each summer.
3. What do you usually do first thing in the morning?
Check my email and go for a run.

Target. I also love ordering produce through our local community-sustained farm, Los Poblanos.
5. Tell us about a time you were very surprised.
When May B. was blurbed by author Karen Cushman, someone I’ve read, taught, and admired for years. There was some shaking and crying going on.
About May B.:
I’ve known it since last night:
It’s been too long to expect them to return.
Something’s happened.
May is helping out on a neighbor’s Kansas prairie homestead—just until Christmas, says Pa. She wants to contribute, but it’s hard to be separated from her family by 15 long, unfamiliar miles. Then the unthinkable happens: May is abandoned. Trapped in a tiny snow-covered sod house, isolated from family and neighbors, May must prepare for the oncoming winter. While fighting to survive, May’s memories of her struggles with reading at school come back to haunt her. But she’s determined to find her way home again.
About Caroline from CarolineStarrRose.com:
I’ve taught both social studies and English in New Mexico, Florida, Virginia, and Louisiana, working to instill in my students a passion for books, the freedom to experiment with words, and a curiosity about the past.
Now back in Albuquerque with my husband and two sons, I write full-time about kids, snickerdoodles, emus (the non-biting kind), and bayous, hoping to honor childhood through the stories I create.

I love the cover for May B! So different from everything coming out right now. And how fun that the author’s a teacher. Now other great English teachers will get to teach her book!
