Return to SJE- Student Turned Author Visits School

What a welcoming I had on Monday when I returned to SJE after not attending since the 5th in the 1980's. I read my book to Pre-K to 2nd Grader. It was a blast listening to the kids and reading in each individual classroom! I had a chance to say hi to my 4th grade teacher Mrs. Adams who still teaches there. Renee in Marketing and the preschool teacher MaryTherese were incremental in my visit. The Northwest Indiana Times and the Northwest Indiana Catholic also came to interview and take pictures. I felt like a celebrity! Reading to the kids and telling the kids about the writing process as well as emphasizing the importance of imagination in a child's growth were definite highlights of my trip! We also entertained a coloring contest that each grade participated in for a coloring book prize version of Paxton and Mali Find Their Boat. There were 4 winners from Pre-K, K, 1st and 2nd grade!

Kid's Resale Shop in Gilbert

I had a great experience at this little resale boutique in Gilbert this past week, and walked away with a few great finds for Paxton, while enjoying networking and talking about my book! I look forward to the grand opening event for the owner's 2nd location in Chandler coming soon.
