Me & Darth Vader (or Why School Librarians Are the Best)

Guess who I met yesterday at Somerville Road Elementary School?

A bunch a great kids, librarian-extraordinaire Sally Savas, so many enthusiastic teachers ... and Darth Vader!



I'm exhausted but had to pop in to say Happy Poetry Friday! Please visit Catherine at Reading to the Core for Roundup -- and get your penguin fix with a lovely post about WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON ANTARCTICA. Thank you, Catherine! I'm so honored and grateful. xo

  1. Thank you, Irene! My students LOVE When the Sun Shines on Antarctica! We have been starting each day with reading and rereading their favorite poems. I think you'll be hearing more about this in the weeks to come...
    Thank you again for everything!

  5. My youngest granddaughter would have loved to have visited with you, Irene. She is in love with Darth Vader. We think it's the voice that's so inviting! Glad you had fun, and I imagine the students loved every bit of your visit.
