Two Authors are Better Than One!

Ellen (left) and Anne
Ellen and I did our first school visit together last Friday at Belle Sherman School in Ithaca, NY. As you can see from these pictures, it went very well. Sorry, but we don't have ANY funny disaster stories to tell you! Except that I couldn't figure out how the bathroom sink worked. (Don't ask.) My daughter Mollie sat through our presentations and took pictures. When kids asked me where I got my ideas for Abby Hayes, all I had to do was point to her: "Sitting there in the back row!" My other favorite part of the day was watching Ellen demonstrate the element of surprise using a potato chip can and, um, something very surprising, which I won't spoil for you in case you're lucky enough to see her some day. And then Ellen demonstrated suspense with a thermos! I can't wait to do another appearance together...
