	SparkNotes: Walk Two Moons: Context
		Creech devoted most of her time in the ensuing years to her family and her teaching, but when her father died in 1986 and her children had left home, she began to write prolifically.
		Creech describes writing as a process largely beyond her control and utterly consuming: she crafts the characters' voices, but those "voices" then govern the unfolding of the book.
		These voices narrate the story to Creech, who, when composing a new book, is likely to become so absorbed in the stories going on in her head that she "put(s) the telephone handset in the refrigerator, or (her) keys in the microwave." Writing is not, however, an easy or glib process.

	A Fine Fine School by Sharon Creech ISBN 006027736X
		Creech (Love That Dog) styles the principal as proud of his scholars and staff, but shows how his drastic measures diminish quality of life.
		Especially in light of our demands on schools these days...with testing...the amount of information we are req'd to cover...the amount of material students are expected to know etc. This story really brings us back to the basics of living life and enjoying each day.
		The pairing of children's author superstar Sharon Creech (Newbery winner "Walk Two Moons" anyone?) and New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss (the modern equivalent of Margaret Bloy Graham of "Harry the Dirty Dog" fame) was not an intuitive one.
