The schedule of benchmark tests, state assessment testing, school play practice schedules all get in the way. I do know that after an author visited our library, their books were the hottest ticket in town. Kids always wanted the book written by "that author person." They often even remembered the author's name. I know your visit generated lots of interest in your books. <BR/><BR/>Brava for eating in the cafeteria with the kids. <BR/><BR/>What goes on in the school cafeteria often explains a great deal about children. When teachers stopped having lunch room duty (I know, it is never fun.)they lost the chance to pick up on the subtle dynamics of their students' lives. That was a part of Happy Kid that rang so true to me: Kyle desparately looking for a place to sit at lunch time.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377586.post-1146227545138555192006-04-28T08:32:00.000-04:002006-04-28T08:32:00.000-04:00Kelly--I can't believe you read all the way throug...Kelly--I can't believe you read all the way through that "self-absorbed rambling."
