It Was An Awesome Day...Yes In"Deedy"!

Last Friday we had the amazing experience of meeting published author and storytelling extraordinaire, Carmen Agra Deedy!  Immediately after the morning bell we gathered in the Dining Room and eagerly awaited her arrival.  As a class we had spent the earlier part of the week enjoying some of her wonderful books, including The Library Dragon and The Yellow Star.  Carmen was greeted with a well-deserved eruption of cheers, before whisking us away with a magical story about a young man named Juan Bobo.  We followed Juan Bobo as he ventured off in search of his fortune.  We were instantly enamored with this endearing, kindhearted character.  Carmen Agra Deedy sure knows how to captivate an audience!  She has become an inspiration to our class as we continue to grow as storytellers.  We topped-off what had already been an exciting day by meeting with Carmen Agra Deedy to get our books autographed and share a few brief words with the talented author!  What a day!
