Another great opportunity!

My name is Tracey Charles and I work at Shumway Elementary in Chandler. A few weeks ago I visited your booth at the Macaroni Kids Day Off Chandler event. I thought your book Paxton & Mali Find Their Boat was wonderful. Here at Shumway we have a great event called Read Under the Stars. For this event we invite students, parents and the Chandler Fire Department to come out and enjoy a night of reading under the stars. We would like to invite you as our special guest. We would love to give our student the opportunity to sit with you, read and share your book. You would be more than welcome to set up a table to sell your book as well. Please let me know if you are interested in joining us. Read Under the Stars Thursday, October 23rd 5-6:30PM Shumway Elementary

Goddard School- Chandler

What a fun and inspiring experience, I love sitting among kids with limited attention spans and trying to lure them into a story that I wrote. It is invigorating when ask questions, tell their own stories and have fun with the experience at hand. On Monday these kids glowing with excitement brought me to why I write in the first place. Not only to get my story and creativity out there, to hope to inspire others, but as a mechanism to portray my inner self. Someone asked me why children's books. I LOVE to read, I think that I have learned a lot over the years just by reading and I think it is important for my son to learn the value of reading and what better way for his mom to contribute then with a series of books for kids. I think I just might be on my way to #2. I have to do a little prepping to get the funds to accomplish this, but now I am ready to start. Thank you to the Goddard School for inviting me to read and share and to Gary Klayman for having me attend his daughter's school. Thank you to the teachers and students for listening! My favorite story/question this experience was the girl who talked about a scorpion for really no related reason! Love those... Still my favorite was the school where the girl asked my favorite kind of pie!!!!!!!!! Read on my friends.
