Bravo for Beacon!

The final stop on this summer's Henry Hudson journey was Beacon, in the mid-Hudson Valley.

Five crews of studious sculptors created relief maps out of salt dough. Thank you to the young readers and explorers (and their handy parents and grandparents who helped with the workshop).

I had a wonderful afternoon with you. It's now time for the author's boat to go into dry dock for a few weeks before school begins and classroom visits commence.

Have a wonderful August. I hope to visit with you again.
