Love these kids!

What a fun day at Mabry Elementary School in Tampa.

I love having GLORY BE on the Sunshine Readers List.

Such an honor to have all these smart Florida readers excited about our books!

 

The first thing I saw when I walked into this bright, happy space? Clifford! On that very cool stool.

One of the teachers made this Wordle about GLORY BE.

 I found a whole wall of notes! Here are two. Thanks, kids.

Here I am at the end of the day. 

(Not looking quite as spiffy as my picture...)

 

I signed a ton of books. 

Thanks, Barnes and Noble and especially Beth Gaffney, for bringing all these books for the students at Mabry. Thanks to super librarian, Joan McClelland, for terrific planning, a beautiful library, smart kids and teachers (and a yummy lunch). What a great day!
