A LOVELY day at Lantau International School!

First I read my Tale of a Dark Horse to the fabulous Grade Fours, Fives and Sixes at the Pui O Campus, where I was hosted by principal Tom Vujnovak and had the huge pleasure of seeing my dear friend and exLIS teacher Pam Venter. Then I introduced Chester Choi the Dragon to the Grade Twos and Temujin the Tiger to the Grade Threes at the Tong Fuk campus in the afternoon, where Colleen Stewart was my wonderful host! We had so much fun! Here are some pictures – and you’re sure to recognize a few book characters, especially the amazing Captain Underpants!
