Carma, I met Helen Lester when I was a school nurse at our local elementary school. She sat and talked and encouraged me to keep writing. She is one of my role models actually, although she wouldn't remember me. What a wonderful author with such cute and meaningful ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.
Warmly,
Terri
Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great experience to meet such a wonderful children's author. I loved this book and will search for some more written by her for future reviews. What was interesting is she uses the same illustrator quite a bit. I think the combination is stellar.
Thanks for the great comment.
