School Visits
24, 10
Yesteday I had the pleasure of presenting to three groups of children in grades K, 1, 2 and 3 at St. Elizabeth’s School in Kansas City. We had loads of fun with vocal improvisation. listening to blues and boogie-woogie and reading LITTLE PIANO GIRL. The children were delightful. This is what the cultural arts chairperson and author, Briget Heos, had to say:
“Ann Ingalls gave a great presentation (three actually) to my sons’ school, St. Elizabeth’s, yesterday. She has such a way with kids, and they loved her beautiful book. The teachers were interested to learn about Mary Lou, too. If anybody has kids or other family in grade school, I’d definitely recommend Ann for a school visit!”
If you’d like a school or library presentation, please keep me in mind. I’d be quite happy to do it.
The Best Part

The best part of the recent release party for LITTLE PIANO GIRL was looking around at the crowd and seeing so many faces of people I love and admire–family members, writers, teachers, librarians, books club friends and many others. I am blessed to be liked by those I so like and admire in return. Selling books wasn’t bad either.

I get to share the space with a friend and talented writer, Laura Manivong, author of ESCAPING THE TIGER. Her release party at the Reading Reptile will take place on March 6, 2010. Wouldn’t miss that for the world.
