I submitted Tears of a Tiger to 25 publishing companies and received 24 rejection notices. The very last letter almost ended up in the discard pile (rejection can be tough!), but I decided to open it, and to my surprise, there was a letter of acceptance from Simon and Schuster.

No librarian, library worker or school staff member should be subject to threats or harassment for simply doing their job. Librarians follow school and district purchasing policies when selecting materials.
