Multi-cultural Children's Book Day is at the end of this month on January 31st. What a great time to make sure our libraries reflect our diverse population. I think every kid deserves to see themself on a book cover! Don't you? Click here for a free poster and classroom kit.

2019
As we say good-bye to 2019, we also have to say good-bye to celebrated children's author, Andrew Clements who passed away at the end of November. Frindle was his favorite book of mine. He was actually working on a sequel when he died.
World Read Aloud Day is February 5th!

I have two free Skype days left for this school year. The next is on Bailey School Kids Day, March 23, 2020. I have some open spots if you're interested in a free Skype or Google Hangout session with me. Contact me here.

I will be in the Pittsburgh area around April 17th and would love to visit your school. Contact me if you're interested. I will work with your school's budget to make it happen!
Whatever holiday you celebrated in December, I hope it was a peaceful and happy time. I was blessed to be able to spend Christmas with my my husband, my kids, my daughter-in-law, future grandson, and future son-in-law. What a special time!! I will be spending lots of time around Boston and southern New Hampshire at the end of this school year if you'd like me to visit your organization or school.
