Guest Reader

Today a group from my church went to a local elementary school that we have partnered with and were guest readers for literacy week. I read Mumsi Meets a Lion and was greeted with lots of wide eyes and gasps as Mumsi made his way through the dark forest. It was gratifying to experience his story through their fresh first-grade eyes and ears. In the second class I read to, the teacher asked me afterward whether I had been peeking at his lesson plans for the last two weeks since the story seemed so perfectly timed for them. I left the two classes with bookmarks and the school library with a signed copy of my book. The librarian took my picture to post somewhere. How nice!
