A Golden Day with a Golden Sower

Three years ago, Dayna had a pretty big surgery that kept her down most of Christmas break. Her Aunt Karey bought her some books for Christmas to keep her occupied. We fell in love with Chris Grabenstein's "The Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library." Last year, this was one of several books that was nominated for Nebraska's Golden Sower award, eventually taking the title after school children across the state voted. The Ashland Library was asked to make a presentation to the winners earlier this month, and Dayna was asked to be a part of it. The kids dressed as different characters from the book. Dayna received an autographed copy of the sequel, and got the book from her Aunt Karey autographed as well.
