Today, Ms. Mason, the wonderful teacher of a second grade class I Skype with last week tweeted this:

I’m not sure I can express what a thrill it is to see Carter’s smiling face. There is nothing I love more about being a writer than connecting with and inspiring young readers!


A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to present at a local library, where once again, I was able to spend a wonderful afternoon interacting with readers.






You guys, I just really love my job, okay? (Photo sent to me via Facebook after an event at the Dallas Oregon Public Library today. Such a wonderful crowd!)

As I visit libraries and classrooms, in person or via Skype, I am constantly struck with the wonderful talent and dedication of librarians and teachers. Educators are my heroes!
