Walnut Grove Breakfast Book Club

With their eyes on the prize: the Breakfast Book Club kids aim for the table where their copies of The Lost Celt await

Thanks to Louise McGeown and all the organizers and volunteers of the 125 kid Breakfast Book Club in Pleasanton for inviting me to talk. Yet again I forgot to take photos of the event in progress, but this was taken just at the end when all the kids were given a copy of my book.

I was so impressed by the Book Club. Thanks to tens of parent/grandparent and teacher volunteers, kids from 1st to 5th grade meet in groups of 5 with one adult, before school. They read books together, share book recommendations and listen to visiting authors. What a fantastic way to encourage a love of reading. Of course, doughnuts also play a part in sweetening the deal.

I then spoke to all Walnut Grove’s 4th and 5th graders. All the students are authors and veterans of class publishing parties. It was a pleasure to share writing tips with fellow authors and answer their excellent questions.
