About 18 months ago, I started messaging back and forward with Arizona author Dusti Bowling asking if she’d be interested in visiting our students at Shanghai American School. Now she’s finished her two week visit and is ‘safely’ back in the land of tarantulas, scorpions and rattlesnakes. I’m so glad I reached out to her.

Students on both campuses from Prek-8th grade enjoyed spending time with Dusti; in assemblies, in writing workshops and as she made time to visit classrooms just for a chat.
