A Visit by Ann Cameron

We loved having Ann Cameron come to talk to classes, and as a special guest at our book fair. She answered lots of questions about writing and living in Guatemala.

The book she said she is most proud of is Colibri, a beautiful book about a girl learning to find her voice.

Mr. Potestio's class presented her with a painting inspired by her book The Most Beautiful Place in the World.
