Let’s start with the basics. What will readers be able to expect from a book with the Heartdrum logo on the spine? Cynthia Leitich Smith: Amazing books! Gorgeous books, heartfelt books, funny books, books with page-turning adventures and books with illustrations so gorgeous, you’ll want to linger over them.
