The third, fourth, and fifth graders at Stonegate Elementary School in Silver Spring, MD, wowed me with their great participation, their interesting questions, and their enthusiasm about writing! Here I am in their cool library showing them my rough draft of a book and sharing my writing process. Thanks to media specialist Patricia Warnock-Safford and staff as well as the PTA, not only for bringing me in, but also for hosting so many authors. Author visits inspire kids to write and read their hearts out!
