*You should read The One and Only Ivan because it is an extraordinary story that will touch your heart.
*The One and Only Ivan cake was a delicious gift shared by Katherine and eight students.
*Ivan is now 52 and lives happily at Zoo Atlanta with other gorillas!
*My students will always remember that anyone can write. For ideas, ask yourself, “what if?”
*Author visits allow students to connect with authors and understand they are real people too!
