If there ever was a man who will change lives of kids, it is Chris
Crutcher. He visited our school in May and the kids are still talking
about him and his books. He is truly interested in kids and will take
all the time talking with them on a one-to-one basis. He even called the
vice-president of our library club at home because she was sick and
couldn't make it to school that day.
He did 2 (gr. 7-9 & 10-12) presentations of an hour each during which
you could hear a pin drop. He was engaging, passionate, prepared, yet
candid. He talked about his books and tailored his presentations to the
age of our students. He then spent an hour autographing and interacting
with students in the library. The library club then had lunch with him
before he left.
He had also spoken on censorship and the importance of making sure you
have books for kids that speak to them at a librarian/administrative
breakfast for our school library system the day before. He left the
director and most in the audience speechless and with a tear or two on
their cheeks.
I can guarantee that a visit with Chris Crutcher will be a wonderful
experience for everyone involved. You can see some of his visit to our
school here:
