As Covid restrictions are lifted, I look forward to book readings and school visits. Please check back for dates/times. 
These preschoolers were not only adorable, they were a fabulous audience. They pitched in right on cue as I read Ardi to them and they had so many questions and comments. No surprise since they're aspiring writers and illustrators. Such a treat to spend time with them, their parents, and their teachers!
