[CASL-L] best author visit EVER!

[Galante, Jacqueline]

I agree, 100%!!!  He also visited my school today, and spoke to our 7th graders. He was amazing. Totally different from any other author visit I've seen. He reached out to make personal connections with the students, turning their questions back to them to help demonstrate how to tell your own story. I loved that he asked students about the types of books they enjoy, and then recommended books by other authors:-) 300 seventh graders didn't want to leave for lunch!

Hi Everyone,



We just had Paul Griffin, author of Saving Marty and When Friendship Followed Me Home. We were lucky enough to get him while he's on his book tour for Saving Marty...but OMG! This man is a motivational speaker for kids. He is amazing. Not only is he a great writer, but he has an amazing stage presence, and really interacts with the students. His talks are for middle grades. He lives in New York, and it is not too big a deal for him to come up.



He talked about what it means to tell your own story, had kids completely enthralled. I'd have him back in a heart-beat, and now I'm going to read all his books.



He is a winner!
