School visit in Harrisonburg, VA. Taught kids to create picture books. Lots of outer space ideas. Two gardens, one magical. One with no seeds. Used my picture books as mentor texts. It was great to be back in the classroom again, helping kids learn. #writingpicturebooks #schoolvisitinHarrisonburgVA
