Portable 2's first-ever book release party was a hit! The morning began before our guests arrived, when Mrs. Lee revealed the new book, Our Sparkling Words, hot off the presses! The book weighs in at just under 100 pages - truly a testament to the dedication and perseverence of the authors.
At 9:30 our guests, the third graders from Mrs. Perry's class, began to arrive. They gathered with our writers in four corners of the room, and the authors began to read excerpts from their stories. There was time for questions and answers, and then the authors led their guests to a table where each member of Mrs. Perry's class got their own copy of Our Sparkling Words. There was plenty of time for discussion, and I heard some wonderful advice being shared. Best of all, our writers were asked to autograph books - something that prompted one student to declare "I feel like a rock star!"
Other overheard comments:
Writer 1: "This looks like a real book!"
Writer 2: "This IS a real book!"
"I'm going to read every story in this book cover to cover this weekend!"
"Mrs. Lee, is it okay if I read Our Sparkling Words instead of doing Fun Friday?"
"These stories are so good! I feel like I'm reading a book from the library."
Well done, authors. You should feel so proud!
