- Our readers come from many backgrounds and a wide age-range. Representation of diverse characters in the story were important to the author, so that any child could see themselves within the pages. Each of the IMAGINE characters were based on family members and past-students of Mrs. Odegard. Here they are in real life, as well as a few other special readers who have helped to bring the story alive! (photos posted with permission)
