Author visits can be some of the most rewarding moments as a children’s book author. You get one on one time with your readers and you never know, you just might change the life of a student before you leave the school.

Whitney E. Meissner, Ed.D. – Principal Chimacum High School Chimacum Middle School Chimacum Pi Program
