A story is extra special when the author reads it to you! Mrs. Kaskey’s first graders enjoyed listening to Lucille Colandro read her book, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves!"
The highlight? Getting to ask Lucille a question live! What a memorable way to connect with the author behind the story and celebrate the joy of reading.
