Guest Blogger, Sydney

Today I have a student who is doing a shadow study with me. She's hanging out with me all day to see what it's like to be a writer. Okay, stop laughing, she really is. So I thought she would be a great guest blogger for today. So encourage her.

She helped me with some research at the library, peeked in at my big drawer full of rejections, and took a look at a few of my manuscripts while I did some writing.

I asked her to choose a favorite picture book to write about, to introduce you to yet another wonderful book to love and share with others. I was blown away by her choice, a darling book that I had never read (can you believe it?), AND it was edited by one of my favorite editors, Patty Lee Gauch. So hold on to your hats, fellas, and give a warm round of applause for my shadow student, SYDNEY! Woo Hoo!

My name is Sydney and I am an aspiring writer, also I am in middle school. The book that i read today was entitled, La La Rose by Satumi Ichikawa. La La Rose is a pink stuffed animal who is loved and cared for by her owner, Clementine. But one day as they went to Luxembourg Gardens with her younger brother and grandmother, Clementine lost La La Rose. This poor little rabbit doll experiences and afternoon of disasters but is later reunited with her Clementine.
