My middle school students had a fabulous day with guest author Linda Urban (

), talking about A Crooked Kind of Perfect, writing, setting goals, and having the courage to follow dreams. If you ever — ever — have an opportunity to host Linda at your school, sign on the dotted line without delay. She’s an amazing presenter who left kids laughing as well as feeling inspired and appreciated. I took lots of photos, but I think this one might be my favorite –
Linda spent our after school period signing books in the school library, answering questions from kids, and listening — really, really listening — to their ideas about her book and their own goals and dreams. Thanks, Linda, for a fantastic day!
Tomorrow, I’ll be on the other side of the author visit, sharing Spitfire and presenting my Revolution program to middle school kids in Colchester and students in the after-school program in Brandon, Vermont. I’ll post on our 18th century adventures later this week!
This is a nice pic. I am truly a fan…
I had a great time yesterday, Kate. Thank you so very much for inviting me and introducing me to your students. I loved hearing about their dreams and seeing the determination in their eyes.
So are my students! They loved her presentation.
We loved having you! Your words are going to stay with them for a long, long time. Thanks!
Linda is one of the best listeners I’ve ever met. She listens with her whole self. Great photo, too.
