And Amanda Drake is everything the kids hoped she’d be. She reads stories, cuddles the stuffed animals, and tells the kids what it’s like to be a writer. Then one child comes up with an idea: “It would be really cool if you would write a book about your visit to our school.” And that’s precisely what Amanda Drake does! Eve Bunting’s happy book, a Society of School Librarians International Honor Book, is written in playful rhyme and illustrated with zest by Suzanne Bloom.
