I Met Candace Fleming!

Candace Fleming visited Lincoln School on Tuesday night for a Family Reading Night event organized by librarian Patty Barr and others. I would really like to thank Patty and Lincoln School for getting Candace to come over! It was a wonderful presentation and event, and I walked away smiling.

In case you're not familiar with Candace's work, she wrote the popular picture book Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! and its sequel, Tippy, Tippy, Tippy... Hide! about the bunnies and grumpy old Mr. McGreely's attempts to outsmart them. Her book Boxes for Katje also made the Monarch award list recently.


Anyway, it was great to meet her, and she was kind enough to sign the three books I mentioned above, which are part of Allerton Library's collection. So, anyone who wants to check them out will (temporarily, at least) have a signed copy!
