My author visit at Hope Sullivan Elementary on Friday, January 20, 2012 was a great success! This was my first visit to Southaven, Mississippi, and I spoke to over 630 students in three presentations.
9:00 – 9:30 Kindergarten
9:40 – 10:10 1st Grade
10:20 – 11:05 2nd Grade
From left to right: Amanda Samples (Principal), Tammy, Terri McCain (Librarian), and Lisa Nye (Asst Principal).
The faculty and staff were very involved on every level. The principal, assistant principal, and librarian encouraged students to participate, and they did! Their enthusiasm was uplifting, and I did not leave empty-handed. A teacher, Jan Hoselton, presented me with art created by her kindergarten students.

Thank you, Ms. Hoselton, for giving me their wonderful pictures. Here are a few of my favorites…
Mikaela loves Tiny Snail. I love her picture (above).
Logan combined my name with Tiny Snail’s (above). ‘Tamy Snail’ has a nice ring to it!
I also love AJ’s Tiny Snail. He even drew a colorful version of Miss Butterfly (below).
Hope Sullivan students, keep writing and drawing!
