For the young and young at heart

Former Grand Forks Central teacher Cathy Woidtke encouraged the audience at Friday's sessions of Literary Lunches to "Find a child to read to this Christmas. It's fun."

Woidtke read from A Christmas Guest by White Bear Lake, Minnesota writer David RaRochelle, and My Penguin Osbert by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel.

"I love children's books...the simplicity of the message," Woidtke said.

In other news, Grand Forks Central sophomore Deion Hanson won an autographed copy of Lois Lowry's The Giver.  Students who attended Literary Lunches during November were eligible for the drawing.
