Harris Bilingual Elementary

Thanks to all the staff and students at the wonderful Harris Bilingual Elementary school in Fort Collins for giving me such a warm welcome!


And thanks to the lovely Laura Resau (a talented and prolific author of middle grade novels) for organizing the visit.

Lovely display of students' work - in Spanish too!

My favorite question of the day had to be -

"Are you a Princess? "

 (we had been talking about my favorite movie, BRAVE and Princess Merida! )

 Would that I were a long- ago, brave and bold Princess! 

Nico and Murphy - two students who interviewed me for community radio!

To all the staff and students, GRACIAS!

Children in Haiti

Mercy and Sharing 

Susie Krabacher is the founder of Mercy and Sharing- a wonderful organization that has been helping abandoned and disabled children in Haiti for twenty years.

Recently she sent me a few photos of the children in the orphanage reading some of my books!

Mercy and Sharing are having their first fundraising Gala on November 2nd here in Denver -Tapping into Haiti's Future    A copy of The Giant King will on every table as a table prize.  Proceeds from the Giant King benefit Child Welfare League of America and Makumbi Children's Home in Zimbabwe.

Here's to a great evening of raising money for  children in Haiti, Zimbabwe, and America!
