Book Review

Cecilia wrote and illustrated a "how-to" book as part of a school project, and then the finished products were posted in the 2nd grade hallway. The title of her book is How to Dive Off of a Diving Board. We were presented with this book at conferences (this post is long overdue), and Cecilia's teacher wanted to point out something special about Cici's book: someone had read it in the hallway and then wrote a little note on the back flap. The note reads:

I read your book while waiting for my grandson to play in a chess tournament. It was delightful! I enjoyed reading it very much. Great job Cecilia! - Ben's Grandpa

We don't know who Ben's grandpa is, but we thought it was pretty cool that he took the time to write a burgeoning writer such an encouraging note.
