What an amazing school year 2014-2015 has been! As I set out today to visit my 42nd (!) school since September, I can’t help but reflect on how lucky I am to be a children’s author and to be given the pleasure of sharing my love of books and writing with so many children – over 8000 this year alone, but who’s counting!
I’d like to take a moment to thank all the children, teachers, librarians, principals, parents and other authors that have made this possible. Hats off to:
