Have you ever thought "Wouldn't it be awesome if…." and never imagining it would happen?
Well, the awesome is happening. Our fourth and fifth graders will be skyping with Barbara O'Connor. The Barbara O'Connor. The author of so many fabulous books including: How to Steal A Dog, Greetings from Nowhere, and The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis.
Our upper-grade students are reading twelve titles nominated for a Young Readers Award. One of the titles is O'Connor's The Amazing Secret of Owen Jester.
I told the librarian about the possibility of trying to arrange a Skype visit with O'Connor. We agreed that it was short notice, her schedule was probably jam-packed, it was totally unrealistic but….wouldn't it be cool?
And, wow. Barbara O'Connor responded within days. She is graciously squeezing us in. The librarian and I jumped up and down. There is a waiting list for Owen Jester.
We can't wait!
