"Who I Am" Author Visits HCS

HC Storm welcomed New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde on September 19. She read her newly released book, Who I Am: Words I Tell Myself. Susan talked about how we all have rough days: tough times when we feel down, and an unkind voice in our mind can make us feel disappointed in ourselves. But we can talk back to that unkind voice and find the voice that will lift us up instead. We can tell ourselves words that are positive, supportive, and true. In addition to showcasing her new book, Susan shared her story of becoming an author and the process of publishing a book with the students. Everyone loved learning more about her pets and trying to match up the names with the pictures. We were all surprised when she revealed that the name Cuddles belonged to her pet tarantula!
