Share your love of reading!

Recently, I visited five classrooms of children ages two to four at the Goddard Riverside Community Center, 214 West 91st Street where on the 30th anniversary of my first picture book, A THREE HAT DAY, I read to them, helped them draw their own hats (What colors!) and gifted each child with a First Book special anniversary edition to take home. I had such a wonderful time that day that I signed on for regular visits to the library, a cheerful and intimate space designed and donated to the school by Books for Kids. There, Cathy Frankel and I like to read our favorite picture books to the kids every other week. Friends and New York City picture book authors and artists—share your love of reading and storytelling and consider visiting Goddard. You can contact me here and I’d be happy to put you in touch with Books for Kids. Goodbye for the summer, GRCC. I’ll see you in September.
