Everyone Likes Norah Dooley - Jan. 9 & 10, 2009

On Friday, January 9, children's book author and story teller Norah Dooley visited the 1st and 2nd graders at the H.T. Wing School, the Forestdale School, and the Oak Ridge schools to read from her Everybody series. "What a fabulous day I had. Every school was so well prepared and all the students were amazingly engaged and deep thinkers.... Deeply felt thanks to ALL who made this day so rich in learning and exchange of ideas." Norah Dooley.

On Saturday, January 10, Ms. Dooley visited the Sandwich Public Library to delight and entertain an audience of neary a hundred people of all ages - pictures below..

Rapt listeners.

Bread donated by Panera got everyone into the spirit of Everbody Bakes Bread. As you can see, it didn't last long.
