Thank you visitors, for joining Denise Lewis Patrick & MyLMNOP in a week long celebration of, NAEYC's Week of the Young Child.  The week of the young child was created by NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) to recognize quality early learning centers providing premium engagement in early childcare and in early childhood education.

Helping me to kick-start our week is renown author, Denise Lewis Patrick!  Denise has authored and published over thirty books, including her first picture book, Red Dancing Shoes, her award winning book, Midnight Son, and the newest addition to the American Girl  series, Meet Cecile.  (video)

Denise is from my hometown of Natchitoches, Louisiana and graciously consented to share her journey in this history making project with the American Girl franchise.  Enough from me.  Let's hear all about it from Denise herself.  Click on the blogtalkradio play arrow and let the learning began!

Be sure to stay for the end, as Denise delivers a special treat for you lovers of poetry.

    I've never heard of American Girl but perhaps that is because I'm in Canada. The books sound interesting. Thanks for the mention.
