Visiting Connecticut Elementary Schools...

Stephanie and Jess presenting at Pomperaug Elementary School

We had a wonderful time visiting with students at Connecticut elementary schools to talk about our experience co-authoring The Secret Files of Fairday Morrow. A special thank you to the librarians, teachers, and faculty who helped create an inspiring experience for all who attended. The students we spoke to were amazing, and we can't wait to see the artwork from those entering Fairday's drawing contest. Happy reading (and drawing)!

~ Stephanie and Jess

Here are some of the highlights of our adventure...

Answer to Monday's Riddle: A School of Students!

Pomperaug Elementary School, Southbury, CT

Excellent guessing, Riddlers! This week we're taking you into a few wonderful schools in Connecticut that invited us in to talk about the journey of THE SECRET FILES OF FAIRDAY MORROW. Tune in on Friday for the fun highlights. See you all around the book block. ; ) ~ F

Gathering minds talk and stand; pupils let thoughts expand. Those who know what to do, show the latter all that's new. Given many things in tow, we seek space in which to grow. Diving deep you'll swim in form, but here you'll find class the norm. Larhus, an Old English term, is where you'd go to leisure learn. The scene is meant to tell the show; it's smart to listen when you go. It may be hard or like a chore, even such a terrible bore, but ideas flare, then make a mark, and that ignites your own bright spark.

What am I referring to? Answer: School!
