We celebrated by chatting via Skype with Monica Carnesi.
We discussed her book Little Dog Lost which is based the true story of a dog named Baltic, who was rescued after he floated out to sea on an ice floe after traveling more than 75 miles down the Vistual River in Poland.
Ms. Carnesi shared how she first heard about the story of Baltic on the news and decided to draw a picture of his adventure and post it to her blog. Inspired by the feedback she received, she decided to write and illustrate Little Dog Lost which was her first book.
We had previously visited her blog and learned more about her and was able to see her studio so we had lost of questions for her.
The most exciting part of our chat was when we learned that Ms. Carnesi had visited our student blogs and had some comments for us on several of our posts. The kids and I were so excited to learn that an author had visited our blogs!
You can learn more about Baltic's story and Ms. Carnesi on her blog. Special thank you to Ms. Carnesi for chatting with us. We throughly enjoyed our chat!
