This past Tuesday I was invited to read “Katie and the Magic Umbrella” at the Primrose School of The Mid-Cities in Hurst. I did 2 sessions.

I started with the really “little ones” . We read the book, talked about thunderstorms and clapped our hands and stomped our feet to make the sounds of rain and thunder. They love to tell me their stories. We had a great time. They are the cutest!

The second session I read the book to the older “little ones”. These kiddos were tons of fun. Ages 5-11. Whenever I go to schools, I always suggest that the teachers have the children write down 5-10 questions before I arrive. The 2 questions I loved the most…  1) Do meteorologists use laptops? 2) How old are you?  LOL. I just told them that I was A LOT older than they are.

Here are a few photos of my morning with the kids and the staff. I want to thank Stephanie Barfknecht -the Director/Owner, Georgia Kuhlengel-Administrative Assistant and the entire staff for making me feel so welcome and inviting me to share my book with the children.
