Book readings at Southside Elementary School

Author Darlene Welton was warmly received by 650 students during her latest book tour in Sarasota, Florida. This would not have been possible without the tremendous support of the principal and staff by co-ordinating such a multifaceted event.

Darlene found this visit to be one of her all-time reading highlights as the children were keen participants and sincerely interested in the preservation of wildlife and the environment. Children shared thought provoking stories and ideas, and some were already budding authors. It was an exciting day for both author and children alike.
