My book is at the @UChicagoPress warehouse! One good thing happened in 2020! Official publication isn't until Jan, but if you order directly from the press you might get an early peek. 20% discount with the code UCPHPS. So much gratitude to so many! 🥰press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

The return scream is, as all parents know, “Go find them! it’s not my responsibility to keep track of your stuff!” Then things get stressful & people freak out & then you relent & help & find them in an obvious place kid didn’t look, only to learn they are somehow too small.
