Did you know that Eileen… …wrote a book that was one of Ms. Lanette’s favorites when she became a librarian. It was called “Henry and the Red Stripes! It is out of print. Did you know that books that books can be “endangered” and even become “extinct?” …got books as presents for everything- even being sick? As a kid, she cataloged them all and made her own library! She would check them out to her friends and even charge fines if they were late! …still has a file cabinet of ideas for books just waiting for her to find a beginning, middle and end and bring them alive in 32 pages. Did you know how many pages pictures book had?
