At a recent visit to Newark Public Schools, Sharon spoke to elementary-school students and signed copies of The Granddaughter Necklace at book fairs sponsored by My Very Own Library and Scholastic Book Fairs.

“Thank you…You were fantastic!  The kids were really enthralled listening while you were presenting!  The gift you gave the children today was priceless!”

Johnny Y., General Manager, Northeast Region, Scholastic Book Fairs

“On behalf of the Foundation for Newark’s Future, MVOL, Scholastic Book Fairs, Peshiny Avenue School, Hawthorne Avenue School, and Chancellor Avenue School–just wanted to extend another HUGE THANKS AGAIN to you for playing such an important role inspiring so many Newark students this week.  We have heard wonderful feedback from your school visits–and have seen a ton of pictures filled with happy students smiling ear-to-ear!”
