Fellow LJer, Gail Giles, would have loved their response to Cass McBride (I do a very short talk and they demanded I go back and tell them more). They asked questions, hugged me, shook my hand, suggested books I might read. I left there feeling like books DO make a difference. I do not do many school visits these days as generally I am brought in as the person who will motivate kids to read. This group needed no motivation. They were primed and ready to go. I just handed them the books. And they did get free books, too. The local Follett rep had books to give away to them. Their librarians had brought ARCs back from TLA to give them as well. Many brought their books to me for my approval. Thanks, Alief, for all you are doing for kids!
