[CASL-L] Looking for PreK-2 Author Visit Suggestions...

[Jenny Lussier]

Hi all - we just had David Biedrzycki come today and while I wasn't at that
school today, the teacher who helped organize the visit said he was
amazing!!! I can't wait to hear more. We thought he was affordably priced
and he and his wife were so easy to work with.
