P.S. Will you come visit us and read us a story?

We continue to write letters to various people during writing.  Today, we decided to write a letter to Cynthia Rylant. All students contributed to the ideas within this letter. We made sure to include information about why we were writing her and that we had been learning about her life and reading many of her books over the last few weeks. We shared our favorites with her and also asked her a few questions. Many of the students wondered where she got her ideas and whether she had any new ideas for new books. Other students wondered how she went about choosing the illustrator for her books.
