Yesterday, I was pleased to be invited to the May Roberts Elementary School in Ontario, Oregon for a presentation of my book and to answer questions about being an author. I am always amazed and inspired by the young student's excitement and inquiries about Pocahontas and about being a writer. For me, it is very fulfilling to be giving back to my community who has given so much to me.
For all who are authors, whether "big" or "small", it is important that we go and talk to the children at our local schools, clubs, and libraries. Who better to inspire and encourage young writers than authors themselves? I feel we have a responsibility to help teachers, parents and librarians to encourage better literacy and writing skills in our young people.
Let's be proactive in assisting everyone to become literate!!
