Last week, we were fortunate enough to get a visit from well known author, Douglas Wood. As a book enthusiast, I am always eager to hear about what inspires authors to write the books I love. Mr. Wood shared stories and songs with us, and even read a portion of his book, What Teachers Can't Do. We learned about Mr. Wood's struggle to learn to read and how his second grade teacher, Miss Little had a huge impact on his success. That experience even inspired one of his books, Miss Little's Gift. 
Chets Creek has chosen has chosen a beautiful book by Mr. Wood as our May Book of the Month. The Secret of Saying Thanks, is such a wonderfully written book; I can't wait to explore it as a class! Did you enjoy Mr. Wood's visit? Which of his books is your favorite?
