This past week has been full of opportunities to meet with and talk to kids, both in person and via Skype. On Monday I gave a talk in Darien, Connecticut, at the library, about my latest book, Why’d They Wear That? I wasn’t expecting many people to show up, as it was both a holiday and a beautiful day, but lots of kids and their parents came. I love the Darien Library, and the librarians I met who’d organized the event were awesome.
Last week was also a big Skype week (as I’m on a deadline, I clumped many skype visits into two afternoons), and I met with kids in multiple schools across the country. I spoke with kids in grades 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8, and one evening, even some teachers who are working on advanced teaching degrees. I forgot to take many pictures, so I “borrowed” most of these from teachers’ posts on Twitter. But here are some highlights:
Today I’m heading to Providence, Rhode Island, where I’ll be visiting a school on Friday and then participating in the Rhode Island Festival of Children’s Books on Saturday. I hope you’ll stop by and say hello if you’re in the area!
