Nikki Grimes - Her pride, I call Modesty

Nikki Grimes - I happened to come across this famous Lady Author's website, who, an anthological poet too. she writes for children and frequently visits them at schools for various speeches. She is actually a consequent 5 weeks NewYork Best seller List for her book 'Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope'. Though she state her excitation touched the sky, her modesty keeps her firmly on the ground while she expressed the below:

'what does it mean to make it onto this list? Did I make it because this particular title is better written than all my previous books? Hardly. Does it mean that someone else's new book was less worthy? Nope. It mostly means that I was in the right place, at the right time, with the right set of writing chops and experience, at the exact point in time when lightning struck. I'd call it luck, except I know God had a hand in it. Still.' - http://www.nikkigrimes.com/notes.html
