How to Make Someone Feel Special...

...by the kindergartners. 

Me: We are having a very special visitor next month, Henry Cole.  He is an author and illustrator.  What should we do to get ready for his visit?

Kindergartner: Balloons?

LOL.  I think Henry would like that.  I wasn't quite expecting that answer, but we kept going with this line of thought.  After balloons came ice cream cake, dressing up, writing notes, making a big book he can rip through as he enters (!), and singing happy birthday.

I'm not sure when Henry's birthday is, but he might like all those things when he visits us next month. 

And I was just thinking we'd read his books.
