A great article about an author visit at a school, mostly great because of the following quote:
“Emily Loucks loves to read and is always on the lookout for new books at the Niles District Library.
Not only did the 8-year-old discover a new book, “Barnyard Song,” but she met the author Wednesday afternoon.
“I’ve never met an author before,” Emily said. “She looks like an ordinary person.””
