de Grummond Children's Literature Collection

de Grummond Children’s Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg recently sent a letter saying they received 650 titles from publishers this year and My Aunt Came Back from Louisiane was a favorite among many of their visitors.

Thanks USM for the nice letter and for sharing my book with your visitors!!!
