John Griffith Knihy

I grew up in a neighborhood with some quirky, superstitious friends. Living next door to me was Eileen, who lived in constant fear of the number 13. Across the street was this guy named Tuck. Sadly for him, we had a lot of cats in our neighborhood, most of them black. Tuck walked for miles to avoid their bad luck. And living right around the corner from me was this guy named Zack, who walked with a hop to avoid stepping on a crack. My first crush was Vera, we were together in 3rd grade. And then she disappeared for seven long years. . . something to do with Vera breaking a mirror. That "ain't" living.

Super Stitches addresses the very message that growing children need to hear. "The most important belief you can hold on to as you grow older is to stay true to yourself. You, believe in you."
