Everyone seems to do an end of the year video capturing the images of the year. I decided to do a video thank you to all of the authors and illustrators who gave time and energy to share something of themselves and their books with the students at my school.
As a result of these amazing authors & illustrators who have visited the school, our students are showing more and more interested in reading and books. Thank you for being "rock stars" to children.
Special Thank You's to:
Suzanne Santillan (Grandma's Pear Tree)
James Burks (Gabby & Gator)
Danika Dinsmore (Brigitta of the White Forest)
Bill Thomson (Chalk)
Candace Ryan (Animal House)
Kate Messner (Marty McGuire)
Jenni Holm (Turtle in Paradise)*
Riley Carney (The Fire Stone)*
Adam Jay Epstein & Andrew Jacobson (The Familiars)
Laurel Snyder (Bigger Than A Breadbox)

*Unfortunately, I don't seem to have photos of these visits. I promise to do better with picture taking in 2012. I still greatly appreciate their time & effort.
**I couldn't seem to find a dedicated website for the book.
