<p align="left">Kate Bloomfield is back! And she's got a lot to say -- about school and friends and parents, about cartwheels (she can't do them), about parsnips (she won't eat them), about being alone and being herself, about life and love...even about Dave Nelson, who doesn't know she's alive. Outspoken, funny, sometimes confused but always observant, Kate is writing it all down -- "Hey World, Here I Am!"</p><awards> Notable Children's Books of 1989 (ALA)<br>Best Books of 1989 (SLJ)<br>Notable 1989 Children's Trade Books in Social Studies (NCSS/CBC)<br>Children's Books of 1989 (Library of Congress)<br>1989 Children's Books (NY Public Library)</awards>
