On October 3, I made two presentations at the Ventura County Office of Education's library conference - one on Narrative Nonficiton and the other on our vcrareading.org Author Visit Study. Participants entered their names into a drawing. The selection of winners was extremely scientific. Entry forms were folded and placed in the bucket. The bucket was overturned on my living room floor. Two cats (one was sleeping), Cookie and Ebony, were then released to choose the winning entries. Ebony Complained loudly that they needed to choose more than one winner. So they did. The following lucky people will be receiving the following prizes:
1st Prize : Choice of a hardcover, autographed copy The Kite That Bridged Two Nations (my newest picture book for older readers) or The Recess Queen
2nd Prize: Hardcover, autographed copy of The Kite That Bridged Two Nations (my newest picture book for older readers)
