School Visits
Going to school!
I pack my bag with my books, notebooks, illustrations - tools of the trade - and am on my way!
Kids are running up to me as I walk toward the school entrance.
"Are you the author?"
"Are you Charlotte Herman?"
"Here, let me take your bag. Are these the books you wrote?"
It's another school visit! And I love it!
Q. What's it like being an author?
A. Great!
​
Q. Where do you get your ideas?
A.In a bakery buying sticky buns and a bread shaped like
a turkey.
From anywhere and Everywhere.
​
Q.Where do you write?
A.On my couch in the living room.
Though I've changed couches many times over the years.
​
Q.Does your hand every get tired from writing?
A.No, I'm a slow writer.
​
I give writing tips:
Write, write, write. About anything. Your cat, your dog, your grandmother.
Write from your heart. Write from your memories. And read, read, read.

I would LOVE to come to your school!
And nobody has to carry my book bag.
I speak at libraries and bookstores, too.
