So many of us are at a loss for words today. I am still trying to let the news sink in, that Lee has left us. What a life - and what a legacy. His books will continue to enrich countless souls. He made them for the children, after all - he always had young readers and writers foremost in his heart. His keen mind crafted only the best for them.
Read to me, Lee -
again and again.
Click here to revisit the surprise, online 80th birthday party we all threw for Lee last year. It was my honor to collect the links. I look forward to meandering through them again to remember and celebrate. We still love you, Lee - we always will.
Special love to Charles in this time of deepest loss. Your life together was luminous.
No better way to honor Lee than to celebrate poetry. Thanks to Molly for hosting the Roundup today at Nix the Comfort Zone. [P.S. - Here is a five-minute video interview with Lee from last summer, recorded in his home office, brimming with books and good humor.]
