Valentine's Day Visit
Valentine's Day I visited Langley Elementary School. What a nice way to spend a special day! Two of Mrs. Stohler's classes had just finished reading Lottie's Courage, and she invited me to talk about writing the book.
It was great meeting so many readers!
Thanks for inviting me to Langley!

Visiting Spratley Middle School
Yesterday I visited Spratley Middle School in Hampton, Virginia. Students were respectful and attentive.
Spratley students have a dress code and they looked terrific wearing school colors.
I enjoyed my visit. I hope the students learned a little about how writers work. I also hope they became interested in contraband slaves in Hampton, the Emancipation Oak, and other treasures of our local history.
Thanks for being such a great audience!
