Claire, a 5th grade OES student in Ms. Lafferty’s class, recently had the honor of meeting Audrey Penn (best selling author of The Kissing Hand). A year or so ago, Claire wrote a letter to Mrs. Penn about how much she enjoyed her book. Mrs. Penn actually wrote back to Claire! But by the time the letter had arrived at school, Claire had moved. Mrs. Penn lives in Maryland, so when she found out that Claire had moved to Virginia, they scheduled dinner. Claire had a wonderful time chatting with Mrs. Penn and learning more about her – she even asked Mrs. Penn to sign a copy of her wonderful book for Oakton! -cg
