4/30/07 - Hopewell Junction, NY - Evan & Donna gave their Author's Presentation to 900 students at Gayhead Elementary School in Hopewell Junction, NY. Here's a response from the school: 

Dear Evan and Donna,

What a wonderful day last Monday was!  The children were so excited to get to meet  you.

Your presentations to the students at Gayhead were terrific.  The 
students and teachers so enjoyed everything, including the beautiful  DVD, your introduction of the Galapagos creatures from the book,  Evan's awesome job reading the book and the way you helped the  students to generate ideas to create their own story. And now that  many of the parents have had a chance to read the book to and with their children they, too, have approached me about how much they love it.

Thank you for spending your day with us and for sharing the story of  your lives.  I wish you much success in getting your story into as  many children's hands as possible.  You have an important message to share and are making the world a better place through your efforts.

God Bless,
Denise Doddard
