It has been funded and Candace will visit our school on Friday, February 28 for the entire day! Her books range from picture books to chapter books, historical fiction and nonfiction. She will be signing pre-purchased books, so look for the pre-order book form in the library, coming home via your student or click here. *Books will not be sold on the day of her visit.
On Friday, February 28th students will come to the library by grade to hear Candace talk about her wonderful books, writing and research. Class schedules will be posted and parents are welcome to watch the presentation. For more information, click here.
