The Season of School Visits

I've been having a great time visiting schools this spring--in Toronto, Brampton, Burlington, Oakville, Stouffville and even Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Lately I've been talking about where stories begin and some schools have used the visit to get the kids writing. Here are a couple of photos from a recent visit to Sunnybrook in Toronto. The first shows off the 'Banjo of Destiny.' The second is a great example of a teacher and students using my visit as the starting point for their own creativity. Fantastic!
