Doll-E & Shandra McCloskey Visit The Van Meter 2nd Graders!

Today, we had a very special Skype with our new friend, author and illustrator, 
 Shanda McCloskey and our 2nd graders in the library. 
Shanda is the amazing author and illustrator of one of our favorite books of 2018....Doll-E 1.0!  
 In fact, this is Shandra's debut book...
 ... and we loved listening to her read it to us. As she read, she shared fun little things about the characters and happenings throughout the book. 
 When she was done reading, Shandra drew Bluetooth,
 and Doll-E.
You will find the directions on how to draw Doll-E and Blutooth here...
... on her site to share with your kids so they can draw them. 
When she was done with the first two characters, one of the boys came up and asked her to draw...
...Charolette too! 
She is adorable and one cool girl! 

And Shanda, super cool too.  :)   Thank you so much for Skyping into Van Meter, Iowa from your home.  We all loved having you visit to share your book, upcoming projects and your "why" as an author.  It was fascinating, inspiring and lots of fun. 

We hope you come back soon!
