Author Visits
Kids love watching Linda spin yarn on her spinning wheel almost as much as they love hearing her "spin a yarn" by telling stories from her books! Here's what one librarian had to say. "Linda's rock solid organization made planning for her visit very easy. She was prepared, on time, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The kids loved it and so did I. And the spinning wheel was fun to see and led easily into a discussion of her books. Best author visit we have ever had!" Lesslie Roberts, Kirkland Elementary, Oklahoma City, OK Read more comments here. Â School Author Visits A limited number of visits will be scheduled during coming school years, as Linda returns to a career in the public library.
