In the auditorium of Marshall Elementary, Glendale, CA. The tiger is the school mascot.
On Tuesday, December 16, I had a good day at Marshall Elementary School in Glendale, California. The day was sponsored by the Glendale Assistance League, who not only brought in the authors for the day and gave each teacher a copy of one of our books, but also gave a generous check to the school for the purchase of books for the library. I was one of four authors visiting classrooms--Franz Vischer, Joe Cepeda and Callie Miller were the others. I gave presentations to first and second grade students. Because it was the week before the winter break holiday, the school was decorated with holiday cheer and many students and teachers were wearing hats and colorful sweaters. The school mascot is the tiger.
I was pleased by the good response to my presentation by the students and teachers. They especially liked my new book My Friend From Outer Space, enthusiastically helping to count down from 10 before shouting, BLAST OFF!
Special thanks go to everyone on the Assistance League committee for coordinating everything and making sure the day ran smoothly! My personal guide was Jo, who introduced me and kept me on schedule. I thank all the Glendale Assistance League volunteers who helped--introducing me in the classrooms, helping out with the book signing, and bringing the delicious snacks and lunch. It was another successful Authors and Illustrators Day!
