Wiggling, Weaving, Waving

I am getting excited about publishing my book, some day . . . This will be a continual inquiry for me. I can't help but relate this to students I have had in the past. Every once in awhile I am able to witness a turning point in a student. For example, the reluctant reader who finally finds a topic he/she can't get enough of. Something they will keep investigating into adulthood. For some that changed their life by changing their success at school. . . . the girl who goes from below grade average to above grade average in reading because she spent the summer reading. This is one of the reasons I stay in a school setting.

Today was supposed to be the big day. Visit the library, the bookstores etc. Well, Olivia (my 4 1/2 year old has pneumonia--so lets just say we didn't make it.

But I have received some wonderful e-mails from Annette Griessman, a children's author and student in my class. It was helpful to evaluate some of the information I have received with the opinion of a professional author.

I have sent out some of the first copies of the first draft of my book and I am thinking about binding a cleaned up copy to share with local Christian mom groups like MOPS.
