Meeting Jeff Kinney Author of Diary of a Wimpy KId

I met Jeff Kinney at the 2009 NCTE Conference in Philadelphia. He is nice and funny, and I learned that children love his books a lot because of the break in his writing with the drawings/cartoons. He says reluctant readers like that a lot. He says a movie of his book will be out on April 9th!!! I have all of his books autographed by him. You can borrow them at Hi`ilei Media Center!!

A Successful Golden Pencils Book Sale!

Ruby Redona — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:01:23 +0000

It was an exciting day. Children from grades K through 6 came by the Hi`ilei Media Center to see the newly published books written and illustrated by themselves or classmates. The energy filled the air as if it was the day after Thanksgiving sale! This is the kind of enthusiasm Golden Pencils brings to our students. They know that they can write, draw and publish books for others to enjoy. The Golden Pencils book sale is a sure sign that children at Kamehameha are enjoying the writing process.

Keep those ideas flowing! Keep writing, drawing and publishing! The next Golden Pencils book sale will happen in Spring 2009.
