On February 2, 2018, I visited White Marsh Elementary School in Trappe, MD. I spent the afternoon at the school and read Jamal and Me<\/a><\/em><\/strong> aloud to Kindergarten, first, second and third grade students. I had the opportunity to talk to the students about the process of writing a children\u2019s book, and how it takes many drafts to get a finished product. I encouraged the students to take their creative writing seriously and not to be afraid to continue to make their work the best it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reactions from staff at White Marsh Elementary School:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

“Carol did an amazing job reading Jamal and Me<\/strong><\/em>. The students were captivated by the story and learned a great lesson too! This is a great story to teach students how they can help a new student at their school.” — J. Elliott, Grade 3 Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I truly enjoyed listening to Carol read her story. My favorite part was the last page with the letter. The speech bubble stating, ‘What a Treat! I get to read Jamal\u2019s letter every day’ spoke to me. I have had so many students in my classroom like Jamal, but when I am finally able to make a connection those letters mean the world. Please share with Carol how thankful I am for her writing a book that speaks to so many teachers.” — T. Blessing, Grade 2 Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Our students truly enjoyed listening to Carol read Jamal and Me! What a wonderful story with a impressionable message!!! The illustrations and \u201cspeech bubbles\u201d added to the powerful message in the book. The students and staff were a captive audience. Thank you for sharing your work with our school community.” — K. Seidel, Principal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A truly wonderful experience! Thank you Kim Seidel and the White Marsh Elementary School staff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
