The Magic of Story

 

Newcastle Elementary School

Virginia Beach, VA

New Castle Elementary is another Virginia Beach school with many children of military service personnel. Here three first graders were eager to show me Jump Jill Jump, a reading text I did for Houghton Mifflin when I first started writing children's books.  The artist, Renee Williams Andriani, did the illustrations for my new book, This School Year Will be the BEST!, due out in July, 2010.
