It was wonderful to visit AG Bell Elementary last year.

I was (and am!) beyond thrilled that Rafael López was a 2012 Pura Belpré honoree. Here is a link to the video he created (per request of ALA) about his reaction. I hope you enjoy it!

By the way, I really enjoy your blog. It’s fantastic and I have now added a few books to my reading list! Thank you.

All best,

Samantha Vamos

How right you are it was a team effort and what a wonderful team to have on your side.

I still am on a high! and thank you for welcoming me to the birthday club.
I am so amazed even today how friends are still giving me gifts and ringing me up to wish me a Happy Birthday.
I think I will stay 50 for the next five years.

What do you think Mrs Hembree?

From AA.

I am so please you enjoyed your special birthday. I don’t know who said I organized it because it was a team/friend effort! :)
I agree there are always lots of books that deserve to win but don’t. The good news is that awards don’t stop us from reading everything!
Welcome to the birthday club!
Your friend,
Mrs. Hembree

Wow what a wonderful selection of ALA winners for 2012.

They all appear to be wonderful reads. It would be so wonderful to write a novel and then win an award.

There are so many books which deserve to win.

Mrs Hembree thank you for the beautiful birthday post which I now know it was you which organized it all. :) It was the best birthday ever! You truly know how to make a birthday so special as a matter of fact I am still smiling now.

Your school is so lucky to have you as their librarian, teacher and as a friend.

From a friend who is so grateful and lives down under,
AA.

I just bought those Cupcake Diaries! They looked like they would be fun to read.
I am working hard on my reading goal. I can’t remember ever setting a goal in reading before. I wonder howmany books I will read this year. Will it be more or less than my goal. What do you think?
From,
Mrs. Hembree
