(Written by Dave) It was a humid 85° three days ago in New Hampshire, but last week Lita visited schools and libraries in Berlin, Gorham and Randolph, New Hampshire, and it snowed several inches — on April 28th! I haven’t been up that way for several years so I decided to come along.
On April 27th, Lita’s new book Born to be Giants was released, and she signed a few copies at the White Mountain Cafe and Bookstore in Gorham. Below is a picture of Lita with the first book store copy sold.
The community was so welcoming — there were signs for Lita all over:
The kids at Berlin Junior High School made a fantastic poetry circle, with poems written on the foot tracings, that emphasized what it’s like to be in other people’s shoes around the world. It was really well done!
This was Lita’s last group of March and April school visits. She did more than 40 presentations during the last three weeks of April. Here she’s in the Library at Berlin Junior High School.
And at the the Randolph Public Library — shown a beautiful drawing of a turtle.
Everything was wonderfully organized by Yvonne Jenkins, a super librarian at Berlin Junior High School and at the Randolph Public Library, and by Ingrid Graff, another super librarian at the Edward Fenn Elementary School in Gorham. Thanks Yvonne, thanks Ingrid! And thanks to all the librarians who organized Lita’s school visits this year, it was a great season!
