Robyn Hood Black - children's author

Huge thanks to Cumming Elementary School third graders for being such a lively group of readers and writers last week. The grown-ups were just as enthusiastic! What a wonderful day with you all.

This weekend, I'll be mingling with fellow Southern Breezers at our big SCBWI regional spring conference, Springmingle, in Atlanta! I'm looking forward to being a volunteer in the audience this year. Here's hoping keynote speaker Jane Yolen and our great editors and agent can get through any snow tomorrow.

I look forward to spending a day at Cleveland Road Elementary School next week. We're going to "unleash" our creativity! Awrroooooo....

Happy Valentine's Day weekend... I hope you get to spend it with the ones you love. And I hope you spend it with books you love, too - As this year goes on, I'll attempt to highlight some books and authors I love in my blog.

I also LOVE spending time with young readers and writers at schools, and I look forward to meeting everyone at Cumming Elementary and Cleveland Road Elementary here in Georgia very soon!
