Dear Teachers and Parents,
As we wrap up the 2023-24 school year, I want to thank everyone who not only read my books
with your children/classes, but those who invited me to come for school visits and literacy events.
I did 8 Author Visits this school year, meeting with more than 1,000 students!
Those times are a highlight for me as I adore chatting with the kids about reading, writing,
and history. There is nothing like sharing your passion with those who are also passionate.
Enjoy your summer and I look forward to next year’s visits!
Judy
