Those unmoved by Siebert’s paeans may be fascinated by the facts, such as the note that “Keeping the bridge painted is an endless task accomplished by a team of 38 painters who brush on 3,000 to 8,000 gallons of orange vermillion (International Orange) paint every year.” Entertaining, educational and possibly even inspirational. The inclusion of a small map, as well as additional information for each location, adds charm and browsability. This engaging diversity of approaches and styles meshes well with the variety of forms Siebert employs. The combination of familiar sights, like the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Rushmore, with less celebrated landmarks such as Lucy the Elephant (found in N.J.), helps to give the book a fresh appeal, as do the evocative illustrations by Johnson, which are executed in a variety of media. Siebert once again mines her knowledge of the United States, gained during a ten-year motorcycle odyssey with her husband, to produce poems that celebrate sites famous and lesser known. ![]() ![]() ![]() Melanie is represented by Flavia Viotti at Bookcase Literary Agency.

The story goes a little something along the lines of two boys, both named Will Grayson. I didn't even think that much of the authors when reading, I was so fully immersed in the two Will Grayson's minds, and how alike but totally different they are.
