[AISLE-Share] 5th Grade Author visit recommendations

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Candace Fleming was great!  She has the Fabled 4th/5th Graders of Aesop
books and great books on Lincolns, Amelia Earhart, PT Barnum, Romanovs,
etc. We had her because she also has great picture books.  Did a whole
school author visit! She did a writing process presentation for 7th and 8th
that would be good for 5th, too.
