Onions and Cake at Siena College


For all the girls at Siena College who I met yesterday – thanks so much for making it a lovely visit. Since you had to rush off afterwards, I thought I’d post a picture of your gifts so you could see how much I appreciate them! Only readers of Peeling the Onion would understand the significance of the cake, so it really did make me smile. Even before I tasted it! (The flags say: Dear Anna, Love 8A)

(It made my husband smile too. I have to tell you the cake doesn’t look quite like that anymore…)

  1. Helen That is great. I am just surfing around as you will be visiting my son's school (Lynbrook PS) next week. We are looking forward to it. He is only seven but has a copy of you "Too Much Stuff" and reading "Nim's Island" in class. How wonderful that you get out to the grass roots level to bring reading to reality for them. Thank you!

  2. Wendy Thanks, Helen. It's a lot of fun for me too - actually meeting the readers is a big change from spending my day chained to the computer!
