So disappointed to hear that, Verla! It seems that it's getting more and more common for books to go out of print after just a couple of years. Try not to be too discouraged.

Hugs, Verla. I just checked and our library has 10 copies of your book.

A great book. You know I understand how hard it is to have a book go out of print. But you never know--someday you may find a way to get all OOP picture books back in print.
