Drew Daywalt is Coming to Van Meter To Celebrate His New Book For Read Across America Week!

 

We are so excited! Drew Daywalt is coming to Van Meter! 

On March 5-6, we will welcome Drew as he shares his story and books, including the newest, Forty the Fortune Teller.  This one comes out next week on February 24, 2026. 

This is also Read Across America week, March 2-6, 2026. Drew's visit is the perfect way to celebrate this special week with our readers.   

I also created a letter from The Crayons in Drew's books.  They asked our readers to dress up in one of our crayon colors each day to celebrate reading.  It will be so much fun!  I gave a letter to each class today. 

If you would like a copy of the crayon poster, you can find it here in Canva.  

I can't wait for this very special week, and for Drew's visit.  It's going to the best!
