Ms. Polacco, my wife Melissa, and daughter Jessica
I had a great day today with the family. I read on the website for Politics & Prose that Patricia Polacco was doing a signing this morning. My wife did not get the chance years ago to see her in person when Mr. B had her visit CCES. And my daughter wasn't even born yet either. So we drove down to see her, really not knowing what to expect. I knew there wasn't going to be a book talk, or anything like that, since it was a "book signing only." So we took the camera, and my wife took most of her books that she had while she was teaching. I also picked up two books for the kids (1 each) from Daedalus the other day. My plan was also to pick up a copy of her new book (see previous blog post) about her former art teacher. Well, it was a good time had by all. Of course, Ms. Polacco was great. She was gracious, kind, and actually talked with us for a while. She personalized my book for the classroom, and my wife and kids' as well. I was so glad my wife had the chance to meet her. Afterward as we drove back home, we discussed where to get lunch. To celebrate, we finally made the trek to the Grilled Cheese & Company in Catonsville. Delicious! What a wonderful day!
