Marvelous Monday

Hattie and I have hit the road to San Francisco. She arrived via train and ferry; I flew in (and, boy, are my arms tired!)

Tonight, I hung out with the adorable Jenni Holm and the book savvy Sharon Levin (both thanked in the acknowledgments of Hattie Ever After), eating Thai food and being treated to the charming artwork of Miss Millie May.


Now I'm at the hotel and gearing up for tomorrow, a full day of school presentations sponsored by The Storyteller-- channeling my inner Hattie in a reproduction vintage dress graciously handsewn by my dear friend, Carla Keats. 

I promise to post photos on Wednesday; in the meantime, check back tomorrow for a great Teacher Tuesday post on the importance of independent reading for middle schoolers!
