One of the best parts of being an author of books for kids is that I get to visit so many great schools and talk to students about two of my favorite topics: reading and writing!  Recently, I visited Coral Reef Elementary in Miami and spoke to the third-graders there.  What a great group of students who asked awesome questions!  Thanks to all of you and to your fabulous media specialist, Ms. Rivas, for making it such a great day!

Talk to you soon!

Let me know how you do.

Good luck!

I’ve been so lucky lately to get to visit so many great schools! One school that really tops the list is Somerset Gables in Miami, FL.  Special thanks to Somerset for having me speak during Career Week. By the great questions all of the students asked, I know that many of them will be very successful when they grow up and have careers of their own.  Wow!  So many smart students!

Special thanks too to all of you who’ve been writing lately.  I’m so glad so many of you love reading about Mallory.

Keep reading!

Talk to you soon!

I hope the year is off to a great start for all of you!

As an author of books for kids, one of my favorite things to do is to visit schools and talk to kids about reading and writing.  It is so much fun to talk to all the kids who like reading about Mallory.  This week I visited two GREAT schools in Miami.   Thanks so much to all the great students, teachers, staff and media specialists at Sunny Isles Beach K-8 School and Village Green Elementary for making my visits to your schools so special!

To all of you, keep reading and writing!

Talk to you soon!
