What a wonderful, whirlwind of a day at Vestavia Hills East on Friday! Mrs. Ayers, librarian extraordinaire, gave me the rock star treatment from the get- go!  I walked into the school and the first thing I saw was a huge red banner with the words “Welcome Author Diane Z. Shore!” and on both sides of the hallway beautiful works of art decorated the walls! The students had chosen a scene from one of my books and drew their version of it. Wow!  Many talented artists attend Vestavia Hills East!
And the day just kept getting better from there! The students in ALL of the sessions were very responsive and very attentive (my favorite combination!)  Boy did we have a boppin’ good time.   Ms. Ayers had all the students well prepared. I especially felt a tingle in my heart when at the last session the students were “squeekin’” and “creekin’” right along with me as the bus-a-saurus gobbled up his stops. That made my day!!!
And afterwards I stayed and signed a ton of books. Wow! Vestavia Hills East has a LOT of readers!!!   I do have a warning for those of you who ordered How To Drive Your Sister Crazy.  “DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, let your sister read the book. She may try the different pranks out on you!
Have a super- de- dooper rest of the school year and thank you sooooooo much for inviting me to your school!
