Testimonials...
"What an experience for our students to not only meet a real author, but one who inspired them to become better writers! After reading her personal narrative, A Single Red Thread, author Lorraine Butler Simcox shared with our students the writing process and her experiences. Mrs. Simcox used the terminology from our Georgia Performance Standards and modeled the elements of good writing. We look forward to her next visit and the impact she will have on our students!" —Robin Samples, Principal, Rossville Elem
"Mrs. Simcox, Thank you for coming to our school. Your story, A Single Red Thread, is so sweet and I really liked your puppet friend, QuYi. Thanks for the encouraging words." —Amanda, 4th Gr., Aspiring Author
"We had a fabulous 2 day visit with author, Lorraine Butler Simcox. Her book, A Single Red Thread, is such a beautiful story—the delicate pictures are a perfect match for the tender text. Lorraine's presentations were much more than an author sharing her book. She's a thoroughly gifted teacher, engaging the children in discussions, book walks, and adapting the programs to best suit each grade level's abilities and interests. We look forward to her next book and visit!" —Debbie Shannon, Media Specialist
