Thank you, Keswick P.S.!

20160406_093253From the moment I walked into Keswick Public School from the snow storm outside, I knew it was going to be a good day.
The secretary knew who I was and seemed glad to see me. The teacher-librarian, Sheila Pollard, was there to greet me in a flash and had already set up a fantastic spot for the presentations (she even brought in some daffodils to brighten up the table!). 20160406_092900The halls were covered (and I mean COVERED) in beautiful art work from the students inspired from my books. The kids had read my books, they had questions, they were listening, they were smiling. And the teachers were too! It was nothing short of magical! I got as much from my visit at Keswick P.S. than the children did, I hope.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, Keswick. I hope to see you again soon!

Quel bel accueil!

Cette semaine, j’ai eu le grand bonheur de rencontrer les élèves du programme d’immersion de l’école Keswick Public School. Quel bel accueil m’a attendait!

En plus d’avoir lu la grande majorité de mes livres et d’avoir préparé des questions, les élèves et leurs enseignantes avaient pris le temps de faire des dessins de la couverture et de leurs moments préférés de mes livres. Les corridors étaient en effet couvert d’oeuvres me souhaitant la bienvenue. Je me serais cru une véritable “rock star”! Attention Julie Cossette, Loufane et Benoît Laverdière – la jeune relève de l’Ontario est bourrée de talent en illustration!

Merci encore à Sheila Pollard d’avoir organisé cette magnifique visite. À bientôt, j’espère!
