Your children introduced me to Snot Stew years ago. Years later imagine how thrilled I was to read that same book as well as all the others with my own child. And it was even more exciting when we learned that the author was an Okie and he was coming to our neighborhood school. That signed copy of Snot Stew is a treasure in this family!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424724827126938825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-16988393674326906102013-03-08T15:17:48.048-05:002013-03-08T15:17:48.048-05:00Bill Wallace-Snot Stew, one of the books that your...Bill Wallace-Snot Stew, one of the books that your children introduced to me! And years later my own child read ALL the Rotten Willie books and met the author. The fact that a children's author could be from Oklahoma was so exciting, but when he came to our neighborhood school, talked to kids and really signed our books! Oh it was almost too good to be true!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424724827126938825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-81065055366123677162013-03-03T00:06:22.104-05:002013-03-03T00:06:22.104-05:00Very nice thing you have of your daughter's. ...Very nice thing you have of your daughter's.

Many of them have graciously agreed to Skype with my students, and it is a thrill for them as well. We have enjoyed visits from Gae Polisner (who treats me like a rock star), Sarah Darer Littman, Patricia McCormick, Tessa Gratton, and more.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-37601135365874016782013-03-02T12:55:09.176-05:002013-03-02T12:55:09.176-05:00I am in awe of so many rock stars of children'...I am in awe of so many rock stars of children's literature. I too, have a book signed by Steven Kellogg. I was lucky enough to attend several national IRA conferences, so I have a shelf of revered books that have been signed. I love that at this convention they publish a "Guide to the Stars" and it tells you who will be signing books at what booth. <br /><br />elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-88998179510706250192013-03-02T12:45:18.083-05:002013-03-02T12:45:18.083-05:00I am always so inspired by these writers.
