I am still on cloud nine after my school visit at Gilbert H Hood in Derry, NH! Thank you to all the students, teachers and especially Kathy Lane, for welcoming me to their school and making it such an incredible day. Thank you also for the wonderful letters on foot tracings that several students gave me. I loved our lunchtime conversation about writing and am still thinking about many of the questions and comments that were posed during that time. I’ve been working so hard on my current book, and a day with motivated, bright students really got me reenergized about writing and illustrating.
