I hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Pat's. We didn't get to go to the parade today:( McKenna's book club had a field trip today to UCM. They participated in the Children's Literature Festival, and had a chance to meet several children's authors and illustrators. McKenna real did enjoy herself at the festival. The writers held sessions, where they discussed their work. This was a real thrill for McKenna. She real loves to read and write. One of her idols is Beatrix Potter. She always enjoyed her stories, but after seeing the movie based on her life, she truly became a fan. She will spend hours making her books, complete with illustrations. McKenna met Barbara Robinson, the author of "The Best Christmas Pagent Ever". She read one of McKenna's stories, and told her it was very good, and she should keep working on it and maybe have it published someday! What a thrill for Kenni! I hope she sticks with it.
In honor of St. Pat's I am including a cartoon from the 1940's about the Emerald Isle. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
