BLUE JEANS BEFORE THE STORE

A BLUE JEANS sighting!

Friend and fellow picture book writer, Lindsay Weiss, sent me this picture yesterday.  She and her kids discovered BLUE JEANS BEFORE THE STORE in the “New Books” section at her library (Blue Valley branch of the Johnson County Library system)!

Thanks for letting me know, Lindsay!

River Read – Park University


On March 13, I had a great time chatting with fourth and fifth graders from the Park Hill School District at Park University’s River Read Festival!

We used BREAD BEFORE THE STORE and BLUE JEANS BEFORE THE STORE to discuss the writing process and elements of nonfiction, including text features to look for in nonfiction books.

The kids and their adults asked great questions and even gave me suggestions for future writing projects.

Thanks for the opportunity, Park University!
