SHOOT FOR THE MOON at Kearns-St. Ann's School with Bobbie Pyron and A DOG'S WAY HOME.


 

Author Bobbie Pyron (A Dog's Way Home) and I visited Kearns-St. Ann's school last week and had a great time with K-8th graders. It's such a treat to do a presentation with one of my favorite middle and YA authors, and together our books appeal to both ends of the age spectrum. A slide presentation of SHOOT FOR THE MOON! and sketches and paintings from the book gave the kids a look at "How to Become an Illustrator," and Bobbie shared her lifelong dream of becoming a writer and a glimpse of the writer's life and then read from her second book, A Dog's Way Home.

TAKE THE LEAP!

TAKE THE LEAP!

Listen to your Intuition. Have confidence in your ability to survive and thrive in new endeavors, even if you're not assured of the outcome. Example: we think nothing of driving 2500+ miles across country at night, with only the 10' beam of our headlights to guide us, but we do it easily without knowing what lies ahead.
