The kids at The Learning Experience (Richmond 2) started the visit by letting Kate Hall know how excited they were that the books were all about local Richmond ghost legends and history.
“I live in Richmond too!”
“I’ve been to Hollywood Cemetery too!”
“I know about Lewis Ginter!”
Because Halloween is right around the corner, Kate began by reading her second book, “The Spooky Sequel”, in which three Richmond kids learn about some of our local “haunts”. The TLE students were particularly fascinated by the tale of the Lady in Red, and had a lot of questions about her! (Not to be confused with Kate’s lovely assistant who was also dressed in red. It was photo day!)
Next, as a special bonus, Kate read them Richmond Rocks!. In Richmond Rocks!, three children learn about Richmond’s past by going on a fun-filled journey to some of our many historical landmarks, and learn that Richmond, VA really does rock!
Kate had a really fun visit with the kids at TLE. As a finale, Kate’s lovely assistant (The Young Lady in Red) handed out souvenir bookmarks to the audience.
