Last month, I was very happy that the private Egyptian school, British Columbia Canadian International School East (BCCIS), reached out to me to speak to their students during book week. Living in Seattle, I was excited to talk to and hopefully inspire Egyptian students to read and maybe write as well.
Grades 3 and 4 each voted for me to read one of my books to them – Grade 3 voted for The Lion that Dressed as a Sheep and Grade 4 for The Magic Palm – the typical requests for those age groups.
I’m thankful for the kind questions and comments and can’t wait for the opportunity to visit these schools in person again soon.
