\nMy first ever school visit in Kentucky was this morning at East Heights Elementary<\/a> in Henderson, KY\u2014home of the Hawks! I was welcomed by gigantic LEGO decorations as soon as I walked in the door. But that wasn\u2019t all. Before each of my two presentations, I<\/em> got a show!

\nEach class performed a skit giving me clues for the game \u201cWhich Book Did They Read?\u201d. I only got most<\/em> of them right (what can I say, I\u2019ve written over a hundred books and I forgot some of the titles). This was the first time I got a show and it was very entertaining!

\nFor lunch, Mrs. Herron and I zipped over to Niagara Elementary<\/a>\u2014home of the Wildcats\u2014where we had lunch with the winners of the school-wide contest where students could draw, sculpt, and build art pieces inspired by my books. There were some creative works of art out there. Congratulations again and it was great having lunch with you: Adrianna, Allie, Alyssa, Blaze, Carter, Emma, Ethan, Lafe, Lilly, Maria, Marissa, Molly, Payton, Rayna, Sophie, Tucker, and Wyatt!
