Here are some photos of me at the ABLE Families Afterschool Program in Kermit, WV. The kids were great. They were so attentive and enthusiastic, and had lots of good questions about NO STAR NIGHTS. They had heard the story read aloud earlier in the week and had been doing art and writing activities inspired by the book. When I walked in they were being served Tabitha's homemade cabbage rolls! A little bit of Weirton in Mingo County, WV!! The program, with help from a WV Humanities Council grant, bought each child a copy of NO STAR NIGHTS. The afternoon ended with an autograph session that allowed me to talk to each child individually as I signed the books.
