Status Updates From Come Sing, Jimmy Jo

A Ramona Quimby mention! :-)

"Nothin's ever pure...Joy and pain always show up in the same wrapper."

—Grandma, P. 95

"The Lord don't give private presents...If he give you somethin', it's only because he thinks you got the sense to share it or give it away. You try to keep the gift to yourself, it's liable to rot. Remember how the Lord give the manna to those Hebrew children? They had to use it or pretty soon it start to crawl with the maggots."

—Grandma, P. 29

I wonder who did the cover. I wish the artist were credited inside this library bound edition of Come Sing, Jimmy Jo. Well, either way, I look forward to the possibility of a Katherine Paterson masterpiece. I'm not sure I love any author better.
