A very, very special thank you to Ms. Johnstone for arranging this Skype for the Explorers. She spent countless hours in contact with Caldecott author and illustrator, Molly Idle. She prepared our children by reading her books, familiarizing the children with her drawing style, and exciting them for the morning! Additionally, she has our children researching birds on iPads as Molly Idle likes to write about birds. They will use this information to create their own story. Thank you, Ms. Johnstone, for this amazing experience and making all sorts of connections for us!! You are the best!!
During the Skype, Molly Idle answered our many questions, drew for us, and even taught us how to draw a flamingo! And what a personality! She's such fun and energetic! We saw her studio, all the colored pencils she uses, and even got a sneak preview of her new book about a peacock...Flora and the Peacock. Other than Molly herself, we are the only ones to have seen it to date. It was such a thrill! Super fun! Thank you, Molly Idle, for sharing so much of yourself with our Explorers!! Aloha from the Explorers!!
