Today I was priviledged to meet and listen to author Lester Laminack. He is a wonderful author of children's books that include, my favorite, Saturdays and Teacakes. He schooled us on the craft of writing as well as how children should be taught the love of a good book. He was totally awesome. If you get a chance to see him or have him at your school, make sure you attend his seminars because you will laugh, cry, and be totally awestruck by the man. No wonder his books are such joys to read to children. He, himself, is a joy to be around. I could have listened to him all day! Pick up one of his books and enjoy his craft, then, pass it on or share it with a friend!
Here is Lester's home page. Visit his site!

Oh, he was so great! I was afraid to blink thinking I would miss something. He uses his entire being to tell his stories. He is just phenomenal!
