This was an amazing experience for me. On a beautiful autumn afternoon I had the opportunity to share my children's book with the students at Vermilion Elementary School. Initially I felt a bit intimidated as the first group entered the gymnasium, just the sheer number of them! There must've been at least 150 students in this first group, if not more. I had never been in front of anymore than 30 students at once!! Not only did the amount of spectators intimidate me but the fact that they gave me a microphone to project my voice left me with some uncertainty of my ability to pull off this performance! After the first few minutes I relaxed as it only felt like an extra large classroom to me! The students were fantastic and many of them had wonderful questions and comments about the book. At the end of the afternoon, I had enjoyed sharing the message of this book to two groups of students, teachers, parents and teacher assistants. I even had my first interview, of which I was totally unexpected. What a wonderful day it turned out to be. I could get used to a life like this!!
