The Mazza Summer Institute is always a marvelous experience thanks to Dr. Jerry Mallett, Ben Sapp, and the Mazza Enthusiasts. As a writer of children's books it is both rewarding and renewing to meet with teachers and librarians in the field who work with children and books daily. It is also a wonderful rush to meet the illustrators who have made my own books come to life.
