Illinois Reading Council Conference

I will be a presenter at the Illinois Reading Council Conference in Springfield, Illinois on March 17, 2011.  My presentation is called, "Literacy Through Green Colored Glasses--Picture Book Activities that Help Kids Save Their Planet." 

My picture book, "One Pelican at a Time," addresses the  Deepwater Horizon gulf spill of April 20, 2010 and features Bella and Britt, who do their part to save the old crooked beaked pelican.  The book will be available through Anderson's Bookstore at the conference.
