Zoom-Zoom-Zooming with 2nd Graders at Samuel Staples Elementary School in Easton, CT was a blast! We chatted stories! Came up with some wacky-and maybe wonderful—story starts!
Thanks to Staples’ librarian Mary Blair for organizing the visit! Mary won the virtual visit at the Chappaqua Book Festival so thanks #CBF for getting us together!

So what do you think? Is Norman happy?
