Melissa’s presentation was a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet a real-life author and learn about the creative process. We hope this visit will inspire our young readers and writers to dream big and, most importantly, to never stop reading!
I think it was great! She engaged the students a lot which kept them focused. It was an awesome set up for the students to go back into the classroom and write their own little story. She did a great job.
