Library visit













The kindergartners and first graders of the Brooklyn Charter School joined me in the Marcy Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library last week for a reading. Thanks to my host librarian Bobby Simic.

School Visit


I paid a visit last week to Columbia Grammar and Prep School in Manhattan. I enjoyed spending almost 2 full days there, and at the end of the visit, was presented with wonderful drawings of Walrus by the kindergartners. My gracious hosts, librarians Nancy Seklir, Naomi Toder and Heather Talty, made me feel right at home.
