What folks are saying …

 
I can’t tell you the number of holds that have been placed on your books by teachers and students since your wonderful visit last Tuesday! Thank you for dealing so diplomatically with our rather talkative students, for exciting us about science and reading, and for you very generous donations to our library.

I do believe you are the best when it comes to author visits!
