Providing children with the opportunity to meet authors and illustrators sparks an excitement for reading and writing. There are several opportunities for students to meet and interact with authors coming up at the Secret Garden Bookstore. Laura Numeroff (If you give a pig a pancake), Tad Hills (Duck & Goose), and Michael Wright (Jake goes peanuts)are all due for visits in early October. I am also excited to tell you that Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery, co-authors of The Two Bobbies, are visiting the store on October 13th at 7:00 p.m. I shared their book with many of our students during the bookfair and it really struck a chord with many of them. Since I heard from so many parents about how much the students enjoyed this true story of a dog and cat who survive Hurricane Katrina together, I wanted to pass the information about Mary and Kirby's presentation on to you. For more information on author events, go to the Secret Garden website.
