         As this 2024-25 school year wraps up, I want to give a special thanks to the teachers and schools that invited me to come and chat with their students this year. Nine School Author Visits with over a thousand students are now in the books.  It was such a treat and an honor to talk with the students about reading, writing, and history.

         I also want to give a HUGE thank you to all the teachers out there who are bringing literature into their classrooms.  When the current meaning of literacy seems to be to read passages and answer questions correctly on a test, and when books are being banned and challenged daily, it is not easy for a classroom teacher to plan and use novels and books in the classroom. 

         Thank you to the teachers who understand the power and magic of books.  Thank you to the teachers who understand that books can expand our world, deepen our understanding, spark our creativity, take us places we can only imagine, and speak to our soul. Thank you to teachers who understand that reading a book together as a class can strengthen our community of learners in ways that textbooks cannot. 

         To all the teachers out there- enjoy your summer and I look forward to the new school year in the fall and maybe coming to visit some of you!
