At the Children’s Museum of South Dakota, there is an exhibit that allows you to climb in the clouds.
I visited South Dakota last week, and I got to make that climb. I crouched and clung and jumped and went higher and higher, from cloud to cloud. It was a truly wondrous thing.
By my own rough estimates, I met 2,500 children in South Dakota over the past few days, and almost every single one of those children had read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It was astonishing, exhilarating and deeply, deeply moving to connect to so many readers.
Thank you, South Dakota.
You gave me a walk in the clouds.
