Grace is the lucky one, not me.
Next week her school is having Author Day. They are welcoming Lisa Funari Willever, a native of New Jersey whose books have apparently been honored by Rosie O'Donnell and Laura Bush. I suppose they will have an assembly that afternoon for the author to speak to them, but they also had a raffle to choose two kids from each grade to have lunch with her. And Gracie is one of the two first graders to be picked! I picked her up from school today (late since it was practice day for her upcoming Spring show dance), and she was rushing down the hall, squealing with her letter held high over her head. So very excited.
She can't wait to meet the author and tell her that she hopes to be an author too when she grows up. I'm so happy for her!
