I only have two weeks left at Hemingway Elementary School before I will be retiring to become a full-time writer. One of the things I will miss the most is the chance to read to children on a regular basis. Rather than pick two or three books to read to all my classes, or even to pick Christmas stories, I plan to just start picking my favorite books to read. I may not even read the same book twice – it all depends on the whim of the moment. I’m going to miss reading to you kids very much.

If any of my students would like to recommend favorite books you would like for me to read, please let me know before your class comes to the library so I can be ready for you.
