Three (Writing) Reads and a Giveaway

This next post ties in with why I write, why I started writing. When I used to do school visits, I would tell stories and read aloud from picture books and novels (parts of the novel, that is.) I loved the energy this created. Kids would come into the library, looking for the books, share books they’d read and loved--get library cards. I remember one mom coming up to the reference desk very excited...her son who apparently didn’t like reading, came home from school with a list of books he’d written out for her to get. They were books I’d talked about at a visit. So, YAY to the authors who put those words to the page and all the people in between who get the books into kids hands! I want to be one of those authors!
