Many of the students created bookmarks based on some of my books and there was a huge display with all the winners. Each of the lunch tables were decorated with the runners up and several of my books! I felt very welcomed and honored, indeed!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nA HUGE thanks goes to Tammy Phillips for inviting me and organizing one of the best author visits ever! I&#8217;d also like to thank all the parents, teachers, and PTA members who worked so hard helping throughout the day. And, last but not least, I want to thank all the great kids at Oak Elementary.
