A School Visit from Our Favorite Author!

This morning Samantha Vamos, author of two wonderful books for children, came to our school! Her first published book is called "Before You Were Here, Mi Amor" and the book that was read to us today is called  "The Cazuela that the Farm Maiden Stirred".  (illustrated by Rafael Lopez) Both are bi-lingual, Spanish and English.  There is a glossary in the back to help with the words.  They both have a wonderful cadence to their reading.

The assembly was only for kindergarten, first, second  and third grades. It was a packed house of attentive kids. The presentation moved quickly enough to not let the kids lose interest. It also provided alot of good information with humor so the kids would remember it!

Answering questions after the presentation.  There not alot of wacky questions. Surprisingly the kids paid enough attention to the questions not to ask the same questions twice.

Lon and Mrs. Vamos.  He was, as always, in the middle of a long run on sentence.

It was a great morning presentation and it was good to see Samantha again!  We really should do that more often!
