Touring Cincinnati and area — day one

My last tour of 2019 is now complete and it was lots of fun and at times a little too much excitement. My flight out of Toronto was on December 1, right in the midst of a giant ice storm. Thankfully, my flight wasn’t canceled (many were) but it was delayed. I can’t complain — it’s not like airlines control the weather — but I didn’t get into my hotel room until 3 am and then was up at 6 am, for a 7:45 am pick-up with Brenda Oler of Scholastic Book Fairs to travel to the first school, Bell Creek Intermediate. I fortified myself with a weak cup of hotel coffee and was on my way!

Avid reader Olive did a spectacular job of introducing me to her fellow students at Bell Creek Intermediate on Monday morning, Dec 2. Thank you, Olive!
  • This Bell Creek student kindly held the microphone while I read an excerpt from Don’t Tell the Nazis.

Miamisburg Middle was our next stop! Isn’t this a magnificent tree? It was great to meet you, Carol Chalfant!
Here is the Miamisburg student who created this beautiful welcome poster. Thank you!!
Such a warm and welcoming group of Miamisburg students. Great questions too.
