Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/
Wow, how exciting! Are you learning to read your feet, Aliyah! This is a great skill to have. I have heard that you can do the same thing for your hands.
ReplyDeleteFor example, once I had a bad cough that I couldn't seem to get rid of. So what I did was to rub my hand in the place (almost in the center of the palm) that maps on to my lungs. Do you know that each time I massaged my hand in this place (I think that it was my left hand that I massaged), my cough went away?!? How wonderful is _that_??? :-))))
Love,
Mama Sharon
