Author Kevin Henkes in Raleigh, NC September 2015
Kevin Henkes read his newest picture book Waiting to us. He discussed how he came up with the idea for the book; which was based on his clay characters he has made in his weekly pottery class. (One of the small animals is on the podium with him.) The last picture is of my sons and I as he signed our books. (Grayson-age 10, Connor- age 6 and Campbel- age 8, are my sons.) Mr. Henkes was a very friendly man and told us "Thank You" for choosing his books to be a part of our lives.
