The book was Estes's first with McElderry at Atheneum; the two had worked together when McElderry was at Harcourt Brace Jovanovich and the file includes correspodence with William Jovanovich regarding the Estes's requested release from her contract with the firm. Other topics of correspondence include much discussion of the book's drawings: McElderry and Estes considered Edward Ardizzone, Cyndy Szekeres, and Trina Schart Hyman before choosing Susanne Suba, and Estes was initially unhappy with the drawings, though she never communicated this to Suba. McElderry and Estes also discuss line edits to the manuscipt, trim size and font, and the terms of Estes's contract. Estes had recently moved to New Haven, CT, and she and McElderry talk about which bookshops to market to and how to get Estes involved at the Yale Co-Op. Other correspondence includes McElderry shopping the book to English publishers, including Bodley Head, Longman Young, Lutterworth Press, William Heinemann, and Ernest Benn, Ltd., and to Shigeo Watanabe and the Charles E.

Correspondence primarily between McElderry, Estes, McElderry's secretary, and later editor, Judy Long, and illustrator Jacqueline Ayer regarding this story about a girl who loses her father's umbrella in New York City's Chinatown. Topics include McElderry's general suggestions for the manuscript, line edits, and layout for the book, as well as the time crunch to publish by fall 1978 (Estes had hoped to work in person with both McElderry and Ayer, but time did not permit). Before McElderry and Estes chose Ayer as the illustrator, they considered Sag Harbor-based artist Joan Baren; the file includes xeroxes of her character sketches, but Estes found the drawings too stylized and potentially racially offensive. Also included are a map of Kim's home drawn by Estes (undated), and a limerick written by Estes in response to McElderry's request for flap copy, which Estes did not like to write (Dec. 30, 1977). The book was published in England by Oxford Univeristy Press, and there is correspondence with Antony Kamm, children's book editor; Oetinger Verlag in Hamburg was interested in the German rights. McElderry and Estes also discuss whether Estes will allow the Foundry Bookstore in New Haven, CT, to throw her a publication party. The final letter in the file discusses Estes's displeasure with some of Ayer's illustrations, as well as plans for The Moffat Museum, published by Harcourt, Brace World in 1983. Personal topics include Estes's son-in-law Stephen's brain tumor, her husband's many health problems, and her cancelled 1978 trip to Madrid and Tangiers with a visit to authors Virginia Sorensen and Alec Waugh. McElderry and Estes also discuss the delay in McElderry's work after her husband's death, and the honorary degree she received from Mt. Holyoke College in 1978. There are also a number of letters between McElderry and Ayer, discussing Ayer's world travels and a sum of money she owed to McElderry.
