READINGS 8, 9, 10 - ADDIE MAE COLLINS COMMUNITY CENTER, HARLEM, NEW YORK

Linda had a great day today. She read Have You Seen My Glasses? to three sets of children at Addie Mae Collins Community Center in Harlem, New York. The children were adorable kindergartners, first and second graders. They were fantastic! Two very wonderful characteristics of children are their candor and their enthusiastic innocence. Several of the children wanted to get copies of Have You Seen My Glasses?right then and there.

Linda enjoys reading to the children which enhances their pleasure as well. Linda is great at involving her young audience, asking questions and adjusting the readings to the mood and age of her audience. One group found almost everything Linda said to be funny and burst into laughter throughout the reading. Our children should never be underestimated. They know what gives them pleasure and they show it, abundantly.

Additionally, quite a few of the adult staff members were interested in getting copies of Have You Seen My Glasses? for they as well enjoyed Linda's rendition of her story. The author will be giving out cards to promote and advertise Have You Seen My Glasses? She is also looking forward to her next reading which will be held at AKWA Barber Shop, Brooklyn, New York on December 21, 2013.
