If you could wear my sneakers.

So, Sheree Fitch ( http://www.shereefitch.com/ ) was one of my favourite authors as a child. She wrote "Toes in my Nose and other poems" Which was my FAVOURITE book as a child, aside from the magic school bus. That book was so worn down that it had fallen apart into two chunks of pages. Me and my mom would read each chunk as a separate book.

Now, of course, I work at a library, I shelve books for a wage, these books include Sheree Fitch's books. At one point, I took it upon myself to read the "about the author" (I enjoy doing that, I learn many things about Margret and H.A Rey, Hilary Knight, Melanie Watt.... I read a lot of picture books...)

So, Reading the about the author of beloved Sheree Fitch, I realized that, up until a few years ago SHE HAD BEEN LIVING DOWN THE STREET FROM ME.
That's right, up until about 2006, Sheree Fitch had lived naught a five minute walk from my old house, or the one I moved into.
Five minutes away. From both houses (Well, both my current place of residence and my previous one, both of which i have aforementioned,  are about a five minute walk away from each other as well.)

Of course, Now she lives somewhere in the states most of the time. Terrific.

Funfact: I COULD HAVE HAD A SIGNED BOOK, BUT NO.
