Monday, June 30th, 2008-A dinner with Peter H. Reynolds

Tonight I had the amazing opportunity to enjoy a delicious dinner with author and illustrator, and inspirational educator-leader, Peter H. Reynolds. This past year, I became an ambassador to FableVision, a company that Peter co-founded with his twin brother, Paul. Tonight was fun, as Paul was along for dinner, as well as Peter's right hand man, Bill Norris.

Our dinner was at Joe's Crab Shack, on the RiverWalk. It was a beautiful evening, filled with great conversation and hearing of the many journeys that FableVision is currently taking to inspire creativity and enhance greatness in teachers and children.

Peter is incredibly talented, and it was so humbling to be a part of an evening of listening to his stories and dreams! At the evening's end, Peter gifted Jason and I with our own autographed copies of his 2006 book, So Few of Me, which he had dedicated to his twin, Paul. What a gift and treasure this book will be, especially after having an evening with Peter and his brother and their closest colleagues.

If you don't know FableVision, I encourage you to go to their site at FableVision.com. There are so many terrific ideas and dream-ish items for educators there, if you feel like taking yourself on a new journey with your students!
